Detroit Police get a tip that two apartments on the 12900 block of Berg Road may have illegal drugs in them. They get drugs from one home and then bust down another door. However, the people who live there say they got the wrong guys.

 
“We executed a search warrant at apartment number 30. We garnered over 1,800 grams of marijuana, several firearms and made a substantial arrest,” said Detroit Police Department Inspector Darryl Brown.

It was what happened next at apartment 28 that has one family fuming. They were in their home when the chaos started.

“Bam, my door was pushed in and they said, ‘Detroit Police. We have a search warrant.’ And, at that moment, I was so scared until I was just hyperventilating,” said Sandra Byers.

Detroit Police raid Dan Bbyers’ apartment with his wife and grandson inside. That’s when they saw Sandra, Dan’s wife, sitting quietly on a chair.

“One officer told me that when he saw me sitting in that chair, that’s when he realized he had the wrong place,” Sandra Byers said.

Police say they got information that drugs may also be at the second apartment, leading them to bust down the door there, too. Dan Byers, a lung cancer patient, was startled.
