Sleeping Elderly Woman Awakes to Police Dog AttackAmanda Warren At around 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 23rd, 2013, her silent burglar alarm allegedly went active. If true, as police say, this does not explain the way they responded. With no warrants, no pressing circumstances, no announcement and no warning about a dog; three officers entered her home and officer J. Echevarria released an attack dog that quickly went to her bedroom. Lambert awoke to vicious bites to her arm and shoulder causing serious injuries like puncture wounds and severe bruising, she says. Echevarria had to physically remove the dog from Lambert to stop the attack. She also claims that medical treatment was delayed and that the department knew about her severe hearing impairment. She doesnt pull punches when it comes to accountability. She is personally zeroing in on everyone involved and believes that the culture of San Bernardino police encourages the idea that it is permissible to unlawfully enter a persons home, deploy a police K-9 to attack innocent people, refuse to accommodate a disabled person, and delay prompt medical care. She is now suing San Bernardino, Police Chief Robert Handy and Officers J. Castro, S. Aranda and J. Echevarria, in Federal Court. She seeks punitive damages for unlawful entry, excessive force, municipal liability, supervisor liability, Americans with Disabilities Act violations, strict liability, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.
