Knock Three Times

|


Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms knocked in the front door of Philomaine Silvain's South Florida home at around 11:30 one night. They broke the windows by firing tear gas canisters through them. Only after they frightened everyone inside did the officers realize they were at the wrong address. The house they were supposed to raid was a block away.
