Ex-beauty queen held at gunpoint after cops raid wrong apartment

7/29/2012

Calenche Ranae Manos, a former beauty queen, had her door kicked down in November of 2011 and was forced out of bed at gunpoint by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies though she was completely naked. The officers had mistaken her apartment for the unit they actually had a warrant for, two doors down, but apparently they were in no hurry to leave the scene, as Manos alleges the male officers spent a “significant amount of time” hanging out before realizing they had the wrong apartment, and then laughed off her ordeal as “a good story to tell at Thanksgiving.” She might have an even better story for Thanksgiving 2012 if she wins the sexual harassment lawsuit she’s just filed against the department.
