Police raided Sharnia Phillips' home while searching for two gang members who had never lived there.
Chicago taxpayers could soon be shelling out $300,000 to settle a lawsuit accusing Chicago police of raiding the wrong home in the winter of 2017 while searching for gang members and guns, forcing an innocent woman out into the cold in only her pajamas.
The City Council Finance Committee on Monday is set to approve that settlement with Sharnia Phillips, who told the CBS 2 Investigators how a SWAT team burst through her door in January 2017, coming close to injuring her as she tried to let them in.police officers burst through the home"They used a tank, rammed the door," said Phillips."If I would have stepped over one inch, I would have been right behind that door.
She says police also used a flashbang grenade, and tore through her place looking for a stash of assault rifles with laser scopes. What they found was a .38 caliber Ruger.Phillips' attorney, Peter Cantwell, says had she been holding her gun, she could have been shot. "Thank God she didn't bring her pistol down," said Cantwell."So this is just irresponsible. It's reckless and its reckless disregard."
