A San Francisco journalist said Sunday authorities knocked down the gate of his home with a sledgehammer, handcuffed him for hours and seized thousands of dollars in electronics after he refused to identify a confidential source.
The journalist, Bryan Carmody, said in an interview that the raid occurred Friday — though officers from the San Francisco Police Department first asked him two weeks ago about who provided a police report that revealed details of the death of the city’s longtime public defender, Jeff Adachi, in February.
Journalist Bryan Carmody said police raided his San Francisco home Friday after he refused to identify a confidential source in the death of the city's longtime public defender, Jeff Adachi.Carmody, a 49-year-old freelancer, said he sold the leaked story — which included photos from the apartment where Adachi was found unresponsive — to some local news outlets.
When authorities returned on Friday, Carmody said officers had a warrant that appeared to say they were looking for the report, which was described as “stolen or embezzled” property.
