HILLSBORO, Ohio U.S. Marshals stormed a home and arrested a man believing he had drugs and guns Thursday morning in Hillsboro.
The only problem was that marshals had the wrong man and even the wrong house.
Nicholas Brown was making breakfast for his three children and getting ready for work when a dozen armed marshals barged into his home and arrested him for offenses he said he never committed.

One of these days, these “mistakes” will have consequences.
Too bad for the unlucky Jack Booted Thugs.
“Considers”??? I would have decided after they crossed the thresh hold.
Yep, they find themselves in court, and someone will have to offer up half-a-million I think to make this guy happy.
I personally think that a federal, state, or county judge ought to be forced to accompany every single raid on a home. If something like this occurs....you take that judge and lock him for a year or two. This would really limit the possibility of legal papers being approved.
Mistakes will happen anytime government nudges citizens.
Big Jack Boots equals big mistakes.
“Wrongfully-arrested man considers lawsuit after marshals storm home”..........
That happened only a few days ago. What took him soooooo long to decide to sue? Seems like a “no-brainer”.

I love it! Of course I would also like it better if the person filing for the warrant was also held PERSONALLY responsible for any and all (Clerical/serving/wrong address, etc.) mistakes and with mandatory JAIL sentences and Massive fines.
It might make them a bit more careful, don’t you think?
Did the family dog survive the ordeal?
Remember the bumper sticker from 42 years ago?
KEVIN BALLEW COULD BE YOU!
It was a reference to a man shot by cops who raided his house and was shot down.
The cops claimed he had fired on them, but the only shot from his .44 black powder revolver was in the wall 90 degrees away from the shooting cops, and 8 inches from the floor where the man fell.
Think about this. This tactic can be used to confiscate weapons freely, if this is not stopped in it’s tracks!
I hope the City, State, and the Marshalls are all sued seperatley. The statement, that it was a clerical error does not hold water. The were wishing it was a clerical error and hoping the warrant was supposed to say White!
I highly doubt this was a “mistake.” More likely it’s a “tell your friends about us” psyops action.
End the “War on Drugs(TM)”
I can see if the perp is a known violent criminal with a record, but someone that they can't prove to a judge is dangerous? Do judges even bother asking before they issue warrants, or do they just rubber-stamp whatever LEO hands them?
What was the US Marshall’s jurisdiction in this case?
->>The only problem was that marshals had the wrong man and even the wrong house.
I would be very upset.
———What took him soooooo long to decide to sue? ——
It took the ambulance chaser several days to find him
What was the charge, “guns and drugs”??? What kind of drugs? What kind of guns.... The whole thing is too stupid for words.
Recommend that you watch the TV show Justified. The marshals get involved in activity criminal ancillary to their real job. It is sort of dual usage law enforcement.
The rotting racist-hater Clarence Dupnik’s Pima Country Swat Team gunned down a Marine who thought he was being home-invaded. It wasn’t even the right house. The Marine didn’t even pull the trigger — but one of the jackboot goons tripped and the rest went crazy and did a firing squad (it’s all on video).
