Denver police raided the wrong house after officers relied on a phone tracking app

A Colorado jury has awarded $3.76 million to a grandmother whose house was damaged and ransacked after Denver police relied solely on Apple’s “Find My” app and stormed the wrong home, according to court documents.

Ruby Johnson, now 78, still suffers from “severe physical and emotional distress” after officers searching for a stolen truck and guns raided her home and detained her, Johnson’s attorneys say.

Her ordeal evoked other controversial search warrant raids nationwide, including the fatal 2020 raid at the Louisville home of Breonna Taylor that prompted cities across the country to recast how they serve certain search warrants.
