An armed shoplifting suspect in Colorado barricaded himself in a stranger’s suburban Denver home in June 2015. In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property’s doors.
courts have long held that police cannot be on the hook for property damage caused in the process of trying to make an arrest.
The suspect in the case, who was wanted in connection with shoplifting, was taken into custody after a 19-hour standoff. More than 100 officers from agencies around the Denver area responded to the incident.
Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech’s house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. Eventually, SWAT officers entered the home and apprehended him.
City officials paid Lech’s family $5,000 in compensation
