Education Department says it doesn’t send SWAT teams after loan defaulters - Yahoo! News

Education Department says it doesn’t send SWAT teams after loan defaulters - Yahoo! News: "A Stockton, Calif., man says a SWAT team broke his door and dragged him out of his house during an unexpected 6 a.m. raid targeting his estranged ex-wife.
Kenneth Wright, who has no criminal record, told ABC News 10 he complained to the local cops about the raid. But according to Wright, the Stockton police denied ordering the raid, saying instead it was the handiwork of the federal Department of Education.
Wright told the station that the Education Department was after unpaid federal loans owed by his ex-wife. 'They busted my door for this,' Wright says. The claim has been repeated by numerous news outlets who picked up the story, which is so popular it appears to have crashed the local station's online story."
