There isn’t, at this point, going to be a distinct resolution at the end of this story about a man whose door was broken down in Stockton, California, by a SWAT team searching for some defaulted student loans.
Kenneth Wright found himself handcuffed and in the back of a police car after a SWAT team broke down his door as part of serving a search warrant.
The warrant, put into effect by the U.S. Department of Education (who also, by the way, called for a SWAT team), was actually for Wright’s estranged wife. She’s the one with the loans, and she is the one whose name was on the warrant. Wright just made the mistake of being at home.
The Office of Inspector General has announced this statement regarding the case: “The Office of Inspector General does not engage in the collection of student loans. Our mission is to conduct criminal investigations related to the programs and operations of the U.S. Department of Education, which include the student financial aid programs. We can confirm that we executed a search warrant at the residence, however our policy is not to discuss details of our on-going work.”
The statement makes it pretty obvious that this is not just a matter of several months’ worth of missed student loan payments. SWAT teams are not on the list of acceptable means of collecting a debt. Commonly letters and phone calls.
Because of the on-going nature of the investigation, neither the Office of Inspector General or the Department of Education can comment fully on the particulars of this case – or even if poor Mr. Wright will get a new door out of all of this. As more details are released the case will become more clear.
