I have never had to file a complaint against an Officer as I have never had something to file a complaint for and I am not sure what to do.
Today I decided to call in sick, and I am very glad that I did so. A little before 2pm someone knocked on my door very heavily, then a few seconds later stuck a key in the door and attempted to open the door. There was no call out of Police or Maintenance, just someone attempted to open my door, but could not get it open with their key(you will see why later). So I grabbed my pistol and was crouched down in my living room. I called out to let someone know I was home, and thats when the Deputy announced that he was police. I went to the peep hole to verify and then told the officer just a minute. I went back to put on clothes as I was just lounging around in boxers, the officer still kept trying to open my door with the key. I yelled at him while hastily getting dressed to quit trying to break into my apartment. He yelled back at me asking "well how long am I going to take" and I explained that I was putting on clothes. I then opened the door and hurriedly got outside my apartment and closed the door behind me, which I am pretty sure the deputy did not like. I demanded of him to know why he was trying to break into my apartment, as he had no legal right to do so, and he replied back that he was the police and that he had the legal right to break into my apartment. I told him he had 0 legal right to be there, and it was at this moment he shoved a paper in my face saying that he had a court order that gave him the right to break into my apartment and that management had given him the keys. He demanded to know my name, as this was the apartment that he had a court order for. I told him my name and then he asked if this was (actual address on court order) and I told him that he was at the wrong street address, that this was (my address). I then made the comment how he had no actual legal right to break into my apartment as he was at the wrong address and I looked at his uniform to see his name which was when he told me to just file a complaint and that his name was R. Smith, and then stuck his shoulder in my face to see what department he was with then just started walking down the stairs, with no apology at all for trying to break into the wrong apartment.
I went to speak to the apartment office to let them know what had happened, it was then I found out they were serving an eviction notice on the other property. So had I not just happened to call in sick today, everything in my apartment would have been tossed into a moving truck, and taken who knows where, and I have no clue what would have happened with the 2 pets that I had inside. Just thinking of what all would have happened had I not been home has me extremely shaken up, and I want to make a complaint, but I have no clue where to begin. The apartment office has advised they are also going to be making a complaint with his supervisor.
