Bunk

“There came this huge bang on the door,” remembers Nancy Parker of Roswell, N.M. When her husband opened it, he was faced with multiple Drug Enforcement Administration agents in raid gear with their guns drawn, demanding to enter the house. “And my husband asked, ‘Do you have a warrant? Who are you looking for?’ and they said, ‘Gerald Sentell’,” Parker said. Sentell is a fugitive, and they said they had a tip that he was in their house. Parker said she and her husband thought the officers were impostors, “and that’s why my husband said no, you’re not coming in this house without a warrant.” The officers left. As for possibly being impostors, DEA officials retorted later that the team all wore vests with the word “POLICE” on them, and that their guns were out of their holsters, though not directly pointed at anyone.
