posted (March 11, 2016)
A woman claims that police raided her house and stripped searched her and her family for no reason. Astry Galvez came to our studio yesterday and she told us that she, her family and some friends were hanging out at her house on Monday night when the police arrived. They told Galvez that they needed to turn down the music because it was disturbing the neighbors. But Galvez says that wasn't the only reason they came knocking at her door. She told us what happened after she let the officers inside.

Galvez said the 2 female officers took all the females in one of the bedroom and the male officers searched the men in the living room. A 15 year old girl was at the house at the time and the female officers did a cavity search on her as well. The minor's mother also came by to express her outrage.

Galvez says she will try again today to make an official police complaint about this incident.
