Quote: Men Face Charges After Police Raid Wrong HousePosted: Feb 26, 2009 10:05 PM MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A father and son are furious after surviving a terrifying experience. They face criminal charges after police responded to their home by mistake. Murfreesboro officers responded to a 911 emergency call and somehow ended up at the wrong apartment. Roger and Justin Chilton woke to a pounding on their door at 3 a.m. Sunday. Justin - a decorated military policeman who had just returned from Iraq - answered the door holding his gun. The officers then arrested Justin and his father. "They held us at gunpoint, slammed us to the ground, stomped my hands and butted me in the back of the head with a shotgun," said Justin. The officers charged the Chilton's with resisting arrest and aggravated assault for the incident. Police did not drop the charges even after learning they responded to the wrong house. Murfreesboro police chief Glenn Chrisman has opened an internal investigation.

That's why you don't answer the door at 3am.

Well of course the MPD had to charge them, had they not, what would they use as a bargaining chip to try to get them to drop the lawsuit against the PD for assault, Terroristic threats, and battery.

I had to step away from the keyboard after reading this story.
an IAD investigation isn't quite enough. Murfreesboro needs to clear cut a diseased portion of their city government. Officers writting reports supporting those charges need to be held criminally and personally civilly liable. Brass needs to be unemployed for supporting those reports and the city attny needs to be disbarred because we all know "police don't charge people" with crimes that is the city attny's job. . . a job that individual needs to only be able to watch on t.v. apparently.
It won't happen though. Justice has taken a cruise and can't be reached, lounging somewhere warm with her blindfold off, scale in the closet, sword on the hearth . . .

I think I just had an aneurysm while reading that. Situations like that absolutely make my blood boil.
There's not much I can say without getting extremely... upset. That's about the most coherent thing I can say when reading about such things.

Channel 5 news in Nashville reported it just a bit differently:
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A Murfreesboro man has been accused of pulling a gun on two police officers when they came to his home to perform a welfare check.
Police arrested 20-year-old Justin Chilton after two officers came to his apartment at Campus Crossings South on South Rutherford Boulevard early Sunday morning after a 911 call was made from inside the apartment.
The officers said Chilton told them to move away from the door and then swung it open, pointed a gun at them and then slammed the door shut.
The officers said the Murfreesboro man smelled strongly of alcohol, and he now faces two counts two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer.

The story that Traveler cites is from the same source as the story in the original post, but from 2 days earlier. I'm guessing some stories have been changing with time.

Speaking of welfare.
I was driving by a "low-income" aka Section 8 housing complex the other day...
Saw four Escalades, two Navigators and one BMW. Either that's where the money is goin' or they got some Rappers in their family.
The Repo man will come a-knockin' 
(Bonus: At a gas station last summer I overheard a guy say "Yea, I'ma drive it 'til it gets took!" following a compliment he got from the clerk on his 80,000 dollar SUV, paying for a portion of his items with his EBT card)
Go figure.

9 to 1 the officers are lying.
You let them get away with lying and it becomes habitual.

No objective evidence. 9 to 1 the officers are lying.You let them get away with lying and it becomes habitual. Even if he had "smelled" of alcohol, he was in his own house. Isn't enjoying a drink or two at home still legal, or has prohibition been reinstated?
I guaran-goddam-tee that if I was rattled out of bed at three AM by someone kicking in my door, one of us is definately gonna need either a body-bag or a trauma surgeon.
There is no reason, with all the technology available, that we should have to read any stories about wrong-house raids.
I'm more prone to believe the homeowner in a case like this...
