A California SWAT team tried to “scare” an unarmed man into surrendering back in March by tossing in a flash-bang stun grenade into his Greenfield, CA home.
As the house ignited and flames ripped it apart, the SWAT stayed outside, rifles drawn, waiting for Rogelio Serrato to surrender. When he finally came out of his Monterey County home, it was in a body bag.
Now attorneys have filed a civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit against the SWAT team and the officers involved in the unsuccessful raid. The lawyers at Haddard & Sherwin are seeking monetary damages on behalf of Serrato’s two toddler sons that he will never see grow up.
Serrato’s lawyers say that he was unarmed when the SWAT swarmed his house on the morning of January 5. Serrato, 31, was a person of interest in a shooting that took place a few days earlier at a nearby bar called the Mucky Duck. His attorneys, however, say that he was not there on the night of the incident.
