US Marshals Come to Wrong Apartment, Leave Terrified Mom and Baby Without Apology
A Florida mom says she is shaken up after armed U.S. marshals pounded on her door, mistaking her apartment for one where they thought a murder suspect was hiding out. Marshals with guns drawn approached the Bradenton home and demanded Kada Staples to come to the door. Staples was inside with her 3-month-old baby girl at the time. Wearing just a t-shirt, Staples came outside cradling her baby girl. Once the officers realized they had made a mistake and took off, the new mom was left in tears.
