Police Mistakenly Draw Guns On Angels RF Torii Hunter
Los Angeles Angels right fielder Torii Hunter was met with skepticism by police Wednesday after his home alarm system triggered a response from the cops.
According to Hunter, police arrived at his home after he accidentally set his home alarm system off while inside. When he approached officers, Hunter claims they drew their guns on him and forced him to retrieve proper identification.
My alarm went off in my house while I was in it. 20mins later I saw cops checking out the scene. Went outside and they drew there guns on me—

They didn't believe I lived here in Newport coast so they walked me upstairs at gunpoint to get my ID.—

Hunter later went on to clarify that he wasn’t upset with the police, and acknowledged that they were doing what they were trained to do.
Hey Twitterland! I'm not upset that the cops did their job today. I'm actually glad they were protecting home.—

The cops that were here today had there guns drawn but pointed downward in for safety. Those guys handled the situation like trained cops.—
