Why did the police do this?

Question

Four deputies just took my neighbor away, and the way they did it has me mystified. First of all, this guy works six or seven days a week, and he is gone from sunup to sundown and he has no hobbies or spare time. Second, he has no computer. Third, he was cuffed in the front, and finally as he was being put in the squad car one of the deputies told him "Don't worry, it is going to be OK". They also appeared to search his house, which was a drug house in the past - long before he moved in. This guy is about as harmful as a bowl of soup, and I can't figure this out.

Answer 1

Did the guy next door have a turban, a long beard and an ak-47?

Answer 2

Well, the Police don't usually show up and arrest you for absolutely nothing.  You're not the guy's shadow so you can't say for sure why the guy got arrested and I don't know him either.  It could be something as minor as not paying a speeding ticket......the fact the house has a bad past might be why four Officers showed up (that info shows up on dispatch systems).

Answer 3

the police might have got a tip that there is still drugs in the house and needed to searched the house  

Answer 4

sometimes even the most clean cut sweetest neighbors get in trouble with the law.  

Answer 5

looks can be deceiving  

Answer 6

There is no way to really know. But if there is 4 officers at his house he DID do something, maybe at work or whatever.

Answer 7

It could be something very minor such as a theft by check or something of the sort.  To be handcuffed in the front basically means that he is not a threat to the officers.  Sometimes agencies do warrant round ups and they send multiple officers.  You never know what to expect when you tell someone they are going to jail and it's always best to be safe!  As far as searching the house, as long as they had probable cause they can do as they wish pretty much.  I wouldn't worry about it.  I'm sure, like they said, it's going to be OK.

Answer 8

They had to have been investigating this man for a long time. He also may have been involved in a serious crime. Definitely looks and actions can be deceiving.  

Answer 9

Perhaps he was secretly living his life as a WAR WILF.

Answer 10

a bowl of soup can give you a nasty burn if your not careful. if your not a relative or this guys lawyer, mind your own business.

Answer 11

David Berkowitz was a charming young man according to all who knew prior to his arrest.

Answer 12

you just never know.... but the police was not gonna take him with out justification.
