A family is suing the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office after a 2018 SWAT team raid of their home, which turned out to be the wrong address.
Both the BCSO and the Drug Enforcement Agency later apologized to the Renck family.
The family says the incident still affects them today.
The lawsuit says family began experiencing “extreme fear, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, nervousness, and related mental and emotional harm.”
It also says their 7-year-old child “began experiencing nightmares, was scared to fall asleep, and showed ongoing signs of anxiety and fear.”
The raid was the end of a 10-month long investigation into the murder of a young pregnant woman – with agents believing the suspects were at a house on the same road as the Rencks.
A spokesman for the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office says they can not comment on open litigation.
