Richardson and Lake were at their home with Stevens, a guest who was staying overnight, when officers forced themselves through the front door. Once inside, officers pointed a gun at Richardson and Lake without justification and yelled profanities at them. Officer Perry Williams had obtained a warrant for someone named Jeremy Watts and "a multi-unit building" at the address where Richardson and Lake live. Theirs is a single-family house and no one by that name had ever been to their house. Even after officers realized they had the wrong address, they searched the home anyways, causing damage to the property.
