Inside The Botched Police Raid

February 1st, 2009 by Kenneth Burns

In case anyone was wondering, not only am I continuing to call for the apology and resignation of Prince George’s County Sheriff Michael A. Jackson (D) in addition to the apology of now former County Police Chief Melvin High (he retired,) but Berwyn Heights Mayor Cheye Calvo and his wife Trinity Tomsic are continuing to live their lives in the same home where officers from both agencies completely botched a raid where they did not have a no knock warrant as High and Jackson had originally claimed.  In this week’s edition of The Washington Post Magazine, they are the cover story.  It’s a look at before, during and after the raid on Calvo’s home.

Also of note, a new facebook group “Friends of Cheye Calvo” started this weekend.  In addition, Calvo and the writer of the Post Magazine article, April Witt, will be having an online discussion tomorrow (Feb. 2) at 12noon to discuss the article.
