Police raid Md. mayor's home, kill his dogs

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md. - Mayor Cheye Calvo got home from work, saw a package addressed to his wife on the front porch and brought it inside, putting it on a table.

Suddenly, police with guns drawn kicked in the door and stormed in, shooting to death the couple's two dogs and seizing the unopened package.

In it were 32 pounds of marijuana. But the drugs evidently didn't belong to the couple.

Police say the couple appeared to be innocent victims of a scheme by two men to smuggle millions of dollars worth of marijuana by having it delivered to about a half-dozen unsuspecting recipients.

1. Just another insane chapter in the bestselling fiction "The War Against Drugs"

Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 04:09 PM by Uncle Joe

over a quarter century at the top of the bestselling list and the insanity here in the land of the free and home of the brave just keeps rolling along.

Thanks for the thread, BridgeTheGap.

2. Police shoot Mayor's 2 black labs, 1 was running away

I've been following this story, it's just unbelievable. Had the county police checked with the local police, they would have know it was the Mayor's house. I'm thankful they didn't shut the mother-in-law who screamed when she saw men in street clothes and ski masks and guns coming through the yard. The Mayor said his black labs would have never acted aggressively, he said during an interview that the bigger one was probably going to lick them, that dog was shot, the smaller one ran to a back room with one of the police following him and that dog was shot in the back. Real aggressive.
