Man killed by police serving warrant at wrong home
October 5, 2000, In Wilson County, something went terribly wrong early
Thursday morning when Lebanon Police tried to serve a search warrant. It
appears the officers forced their way into the wrong house. Now an elderly
man is dead and five police officers are under criminal investigation.
The TBI and Lebanon Police Department are investigating the overnight fatal
shooting. Authorities say police shot John Adams about 10 o’clock Wednesday
night while attempting to serve an arrest warrant. Police say Adams filed a
sawed-off shotgun as they forced their way into his home.
According to a Lebanon City Councilman, police had the wrong house. The
house they were looking for was next door.
Adams and his wife are in their sixties and Adams used a walker and was
disabled. Neighbors tell Channel 4 that police officers knocked on Adams’
door, then kicked it in. And at some point, shot him and handcuffed his
wife.
It took more than 12 hours for any authorities to comment on the shooting.
Police Chief Billy Weeks said, “The person that did the surveillance did go
on the raid. The surveillance was probably not as good as it should have
been. A mistake was made, a severe mistake, a very costly mistake.”
According to a local newspaper, he has placed two officers on administrative
leave. According to family members, the arrest stemmed from a drug charge.
John Adams’ house is clearly marked with a house number next to the front
door.
