FBI opens investigation into how police in Maryland handled drug raid

Mayor Cheye Calvo's two dogs were killed by SWAT team at his house

Police say 32 pounds of marijuana found at house didn't belong to the couple

Berwyn Heights police chief: His department should have been alerted first

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Maryland (AP) -- The FBI has opened an investigation into how police in Prince Georges County, Maryland, handled a drug raid last month at the home of a small town mayor.


In this undated photo, Mayor Cheye Calvo walks with his wife and their two dogs Chase, left and Payton.

Mayor Cheye Calvo got home from work, saw a package addressed to his wife on the front porch and brought it inside, putting it on a table.

Suddenly, police with guns drawn kicked in the door and stormed in, shooting to death the couple's two dogs and seizing the unopened package.

In it were 32 pounds of marijuana. But the drugs evidently didn't belong to the couple.

Police say the couple appeared to be innocent victims of a scheme by two men to smuggle millions of dollars worth of marijuana by having it delivered to about a half-dozen unsuspecting recipients.
