RALEIGH – A Raleigh woman says police officers investigating a robbery pointed guns at her 6-year-old son and the boy’s grandparents while searching her parents’ home.
LaDonna Clark was one of a handful of speakers at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting who renewed their call for changes in the Raleigh Police Department. Among other things, they want a police oversight committee with subpoena power — something the city would need the General Assembly’s permission to have.
“On a 35-degree and rainy night, my son with autism was forced out of a home with military-style rifles aimed at him and made to sit on the cold, wet ground for well over an hour by [the police] SWAT [team],” Clark said.
Officers had a warrant to search the home on Friar Tuck Road in mid-November in connection with an armed robbery at the AT&T store on Capital Boulevard. Police had found a cardboard box left by one of the suspects with the address of the home on it, according to the warrant.
