78-Year-Old Grandma Awarded Nearly $4M Over SWAT Raid

A Colorado jury awarded a 78-year-old woman $3.76 million after a heavily armed SWAT team raided her house. The SWAT team was searching for a stolen truck that contained six guns and an iPhone. The Find My Phone app had pinged near Ruby Johnson’s house but not in, or at, her home. The SWAT team ended up raiding the wrong house. As Inside Edition’s Les Trent reports, the city now has to pay up.

"They rip the lock off the storage unit and find... a Christmas tree" that was the final straw for the jury

She must have had a GOOD ass lawyer. Dont know how many times this has happened and the local PD told them to kick rocks.

3.76 M is enough for a healing process! Good thing she and the officers were good to each other.

Love how they're breaking locks and bashing in doors as if she couldn't have given them keys to those places.

I hope this woman is able to live the rest of her life in peace, and luxury!!!

The fact the police department declined to comment or even offer any form of apology tells you everything you need to know.

Damn, she's both unlucky and lucky. She's unlucky she got raided, she's lucky she got $3.76 million as an apology.

Why not set up surveillance and make sure the suspect is actually there before terrorizing home owners

78 year old grandma is about to party like it's 1978 again

Her grandkids will definitely be reaching out in a couple of days 😂

After the $3 million compensation the son says with a smirk “we’re hoping the healing process can begin” 😂😂😂

She's lucky an acorn didn't fall near the swat team.

Same thing happened to Anjanette Young in Chicago, but she was naked and they were questioning her with no clothes on for several minutes, almost an hour, she had to just stand there butt naked, tons of cops walked all thru her home, and they broke the lock on her door, she couldn't even close it when they finally left, they were at the wrong address, it was beyond disgusting to watch, she sued Chicago and won!!!

[Redlight]

Why not get her to open the doors!? “Nah we got a battering ram”.

[nikkiloren]

Whoever was in charge of the raid should be fired. Terrible work.

[BritBelle]

She’s is in great shape for 78! Good for her I hope that helps her live a wonderful long life!

3 million, 760 thousand after a false top to bottom raid? Sign me tf up

Pure negligence on behalf of the SWAT Team. Glad they got money out of this.

I am so glad Grandma did not have a medical emergency due to fear and stress. She needs a nice vacation.
