WALKER, La. (WAFB) - A Walker couple filed a lawsuit Monday against Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard, two of his deputies, and two Walker Police Department officers after law enforcement entered their home by mistake and handcuffed one of them.
Douglas and Melissa Kenyon allege they were asleep when officers entered their home. Members of law enforcement handcuffed Doug Kenyon and placed him on the back porch of the home while they searched the property on May 3, 2025.
Walker Police Department officers wearing body cameras responded along with Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies after receiving a 911 call about someone suspicious inside of a home on Trace Lane in Walker.
The WAFB I-TEAM obtained copies of that body camera footage. It shows immediate confusion about which house officers were supposed to go into.
quote:
Which one is in the house? This one here?” an officer said on body camera footage.

Two minutes after handcuffing the homeowner and entering the house, officers realized they had entered the wrong home. “This isn’t the house. This isn’t the house. You told me this was the house. No. I asked you if this is the house. This isn’t the one with the Lexus. We’re just searching all the properties. I asked you if this was the house. He was pointing in the middle. They’re right next to each other. Oh,” officers said on the footage.

I'd poop my pants if that happened to me, couldn't imagine waking up to police searching my home and cuffing us.
I'm glad no one got killed.

Why can't police just be nice about it when they make mistakes?
How hard is it to apologize?

The couple is suing for trespassing, assault and battery, and false imprisonment. They allege the officer’s report that night made no mention of entering the wrong home.

And nobody tells you anything. Nobody calls later and says, we apologize for going in the wrong house. Let us make this right with you. Nothing,” Long said.

Because this is what happens when you allow cops to think they are fake soldiers.
Stop supporting policies that lead to this.

There are probably legal reasons why they don't.
If they were to apologize, that would be an admission of fault.
Once they admit fault, then they expose themselves to further consequences.
This is going to cost them some money.
The couple is fortunate that none of the cops were trigger-happy that night.

Just sprinkle some meth and get the hell out of there.

This mindset- while undoubtedly true- is never going to lead to harmony between police and citizenry.
Apologizing for mistakes should be the standard... especially for those that exert authority over the rest of us in high risk situations.

Can't wait for the Dex Morgan thread about this in a couple weeks.

They’ll win easily . The law goes after state law enforcement but doesn’t touch federal law enforcement.

This is a major issue, other than the fact they often end up killing innocent people, the police and city rarely step up and admit their mistake without being forced to do so.
I don't understand why they so often dig in and just say "Oh well" rather than admitting their mistake and paying for the property damage they cause. Instead, they try to blame the victim and force them to sue the department and city to make things right.

What is your definition of often?
And are we talking George Floyd innocent? Or old lady walking her dog and getting sniped from a swat team innocent?

Liquidate the entire department and start over again with qualified personnel.

SOP for small-town cops...

It literally only takes a HS Diploma, and its possible that City of Walker might accept an GED

Frequently enough that I see multiple stories every year about police shooting people after entering the wrong place. This happening even once is too often in my book. It's a mistake that just shouldn't happen, but for some reason, departments have a hard on for 3 am swat raids.
Whether or not the residents of the wrong property are good or bad people is irrelevant. The cops broke into the wrong fricking house.

Good for them and hope they win (and they will). Unlawful detainment is not a good look.
