SWAT Raids Grandma's House And Owe Her $4 Million!
77-year-old Ruby Johnson’s house was raided by Denver SWAT, for a stolen vehicle and several guns. The SWAT team ordered anyone inside to come out of the house, and Johnson complied. Then, SWAT destroyed the inside of her house looking for contraband, and took her into custody. The team's warrant came from a ping produced by Apple’s “Find My iPhone” feature, that was initiated by the victim of the truck theft. SWAT narrowed down the location of the stolen phone to six homes in the neighborhood. The Denver PD used the screenshot of the “Find My iPhone” search to support its search warrant, and that was the only probable cause. The Police raided Johnson’s house from Officer Gary Staub’s warrant affidavit, which was initiated in 2021, a year before the investigation was instigated.
