Annapolis police raided the wrong apartment Wednesday night, using flash grenades and kicking a resident in the groin area before they realized their mistake. A police spokesman says something must have gone amiss in the briefing beforehand.

Thirty-year-old Silvia Bernal told The (Annapolis) Capital that about 15 officers burst through the front door of her apartment while she was cooking dinner.

She says the officers kicked her husband in the groin area while she fled into a bedroom. Police spokesman Hal Dalton says one resident barricaded the door with his body, but police were able to get in after a noise flash device was used.

Dalton says as soon as officers realized that they were at the wrong apartment, they offered immediate medical assistance, even though they saw no injuries.

Officers were supposed to have raided a different apartment on Primrose Avenue. Dalton says the incident is under review.

Dalton says when a warrant was served at the correct address, no one was there and no contraband was found.
