'It's the wrong house': Audio of Ohio police raid that left a baby injured raises new questions
The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has ordered an investigation after a woman alleged that police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash-bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.
The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has ordered an investigation after a woman alleged that police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash-bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.
Police have offered a conflicting account of what happened Jan. 10, saying in a statement Friday that they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and that the child did not "sustain any apparent, visible injuries."
Courtney Price says audio from her Ring camera proves otherwise. In a clip shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, someone can be heard saying, "It's the wrong house." It is not clear who made the remark because the camera fell to the ground and went dark after police deployed the flash-bang devices.
Elyria Mayor Kevin A. Brubaker called the incident "serious and disturbing," announcing Saturday "a complete review of the incident." He released body camera video from the incident Tuesday.
The Elyria Police Department obtained a court-authorized search warrant for a residence in the 300 block of Parmely Avenue as part of a criminal investigation, police said in a news release Friday.
