A Louisville-based U.S. postal inspector revealed his office was not consulted about suspicious packages going to Breonna Taylor’s home, which was a major factor for the police department’s “no-knock” warrant request.
Tony Gooden told WDRB this week the Louisville Metro Police did not contact his office to verify if suspected drug dealer Jamarcus Glover had packages sent to Taylor’s apartment.
A day before the raid, a “no-knock” warrant was requested, partly because police claimed Glover had packages sent to Taylor’s home.
“If this warrant was based upon a blatant misrepresentation by LMPD officers to a circuit court judge, then add perjury to the list of the illegal officer conduct that led to a beautiful and innocent woman’s death,” said attorney Sam Aguiar, one of the Taylor family’s lawyers, told WDRB this week.
Additionally, Aguiar points out that the fact that the officers sought and obtained a no-knock warrant is at odds with their claims that they announced themselves at Taylor’s door before making entry that fatal morning.
