Riviera Beach cops broke a 90-year-old woman's door down and threw a flashbang into her home as part of a violent drug raid, yet they found no drugs.

While the local media are suggesting the raid must have been on the wrong home, the police are insisting they got the right address and say just because the woman didn't know drugs were being sold at her home doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Seeing as there's no actual evidence any drugs were sold at her home, we are all just supposed to trust them.

From CBS Miami:

RIVIERA BEACH (CBSMiami) — A 90-year old’s home was destroyed by police conducting a raid but it appears they got the wrong house.

The elderly woman shared her story of terror and what police are doing to clean up the mess.

She’s called Riviera Beach home for 25 years, but back on December 18th around 1 p.m., the 90-year-old woman, who asked not to be identified, had some uninvited guests.

“I don’t know how the cops got in here. The noise woke me up when something said boom! Like a bomb or something,” said the 90-year old.

There was shattered glass, a busted door, and traces of a flash bang device.

Riviera Beach Police said after evidence of criminal activity, they got a search warrant.

“Cops standing over here talking about where’s the drugs? I said what? What drugs? Ain’t no drugs in here,” she said.

Police searched the home with drug sniffing dogs but came up empty-handed.

“I’ve never been arrested, never been in jail,” said the 90-year old.

Despite the raid being on the supposedly right home, police performed temporary repairs to her house and decided to pay to replace the windows and doors they damaged.

No doubt it was only out of the goodness of their hearts and there's no fear they're in anyway culpable for their armed criminal invasion.
