LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- A former beauty queen is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after she says deputies kicked down the wrong apartment door, pointed guns at her and her fiancee and watched as she got out of bed, naked.

Calenche Ranae Manos, a former Miss Nevada 2007, says in her lawsuit that the incident happened on the night of November 15, 2011.

Manos and her fiancee, Eric Otto Ryder, say deputies had a search warrant for apartment "C" but entered their unit -- clearly marked as apartment "A."

"At that time Ms. Manos was still in bed and was naked," the complaint, obtained by Courthouse News Service, states.

"The sheriff deputies, all of which were male and armed with guns, ordered Ms. Manos to get out of bed and then watched as she attempted to do so," it alleges.

The officers then spent a "significant amount of time" in the apartment before they realized their mistake, according to the complaint.

One of the officers allegedly joked that Manos would have a good story to tell at Thanksgiving.

Manos is seeking damages for negligence, false imprisonment and civil rights violations.

She is also accusing the deputies of sexual harassment.

Agreed. How far we have fallen. More instructive, we aren’t even capable of discerning the error of the way. Very sad.

[Steamburg]

So lets get this clear. She’s upset that no photos were posted on the Internet, Hustler hasn’t called, and her career hasn’t really gone anywhere.

very fine picture"ummm... Sorry, Miss (Nevada :)....please put your jp/clothes on"
...while we watch. yhea...definitely a lawsuit.

While it is a known policy of many, if not most, police forces to NOT hire highly intelligent people I thought being able to read the alphabet might be a minimum requirement.

I'll tell you what is really sad there Sparky, and that is the fact that we have on a consistent basis, a rampant and run amok law enforcement at the federal, state, county and municipal levels that piss on the civil rights of the population on a regular basis, either by malicious intent, ignorant indifference or the lame excuse of 'oops, made a mistake', and when the Constitutional rights of the people in this story are trampled on, one or more morons see that as a reason to hop up on their holier-than-thou pulpit and start attacking the victims, instead of directing their ire at the true criminals and perpetrators of such a heinous act.

Now THAT is what's sad.

. . . Manos and her fiancee, Eric Otto Ryder

Unless the guy is going through a sex change, the copy editor here has a problem: Fiancé refers to a male engaged to be married, while fiancée refers to a female engaged to be married. But, in reality, Eric is probably neither of those; most likely, he's just one more guy who sleeps naked with Manos.

They confused an A with a C?

Are we sure that Al Gore wasn’t involved?

I'm sure it is. Some intelligent junior officer who had Goggled her address was probably saying, "I know the warrant says 'C' but trust me, we want 'A'. You'll see."

You are NOT kidding...today if a woman has been banged by fewer than 10 different guys by the time she gets married, she’s for all intents and purposes a virgin;) Defining deviancy downward......

[Beagle8U]

Much better!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Not Guilty.

Wait a minute ...

[Moltke]

“OK, so do we go for the nude beauty queen behind door “A” or the armed gang banger behind door “C”?”

Tough call!

[Uncle Chip]

Most definitely a lawsuit. Somebody should pay for this.

[LibLieSlayer]

Sue everyone and own their future... destroy their lives... drive them from public service.

Lucky cops. They got to see a beauty queen naked.

Meanwhile - over in Texas - other LEO's got to see Randy Travis naked.

 

 

Ah well. Life's not fair sometimes.

[freedomlover]

Life’s not fair sometimes.

No it’s not. You never again will have the same chance to have posted “On the Other Hand” . . .

[martinidon]

Eric Otto Ryder is one very lucky man!

[FormerLib]

Not Guilty! But we might have to frisk, just in case.

[DuncanWaring]

On the bright side, though, there’ll be no problem with the next 9,999,999.
