Onree Norris was nearly 80 years old when, on the evening of February 8, 2018, he heard an explosion go off inside his house in suburban Georgia. A team of more than two dozen police officers had set off stun grenades. They careened through every door of his home with battering rams. The cops thrust Norris—who suffered from bad knees and a heart condition—to the ground. They arrested him and took him out of his house in handcuffs.
The officers were doing a drug raid—but they had the wrong house. The actual suspect, according to the warrant, lived in an off-white house with a black roof; Norris' house was yellow with a gray roof. And he didn't resemble the man police were after, who was less than half Norris' age.
