Torii Hunter has a Close Call



Los Angeles Angels right fielder Torii Hunter had a frightening encounter with police at his Newport Coast home Wednesday afternoon, when two Newport Beach officers entered the house and escorted him upstairs -- with guns drawn -- so he could show them identification.

The incident began when Hunter accidentally triggered his home's alarm upon entering. A dispatcher called his wife's cell phone, but she was in Texas and didn't answer the call.
Credit is given to the cops who made the call, as well as Hunter, for conducting themselves just right.

Phew, that's what I call a close call. Just a bit of back-talking, a little resistance, and this might have been a very different story.

What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

  2. This is why only morons have home alarm systems. False alarms give police all the reason they need to trample all over you.

    1. Anonymous, you wouldn't have a home alarm system because of this?

      Why don't you apply the same logic to gun ownership?
