Concord Family Sues Over Pre-Dawn SWAT Raid
CONCORD, N.H. — A Concord family is suing a regional police squad in federal court over a pre-dawn raid on their home two years ago.
Thomas and Tina Mlodzinski said their civil rights were violated when 20 officers from the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit broke down the door to their Bristol apartment and arrested her son. They said they were interrogated while handcuffed and dressed in night clothes.
The lawsuit also names three Bristol police officers and the town of Bristol.
Officers were looking for Michael Rothman, then 17, on an assault charge. Rothman eventually pleaded guilty to reckless conduct. Prosecutors dropped the assault charge.
