In the shooting death of 92 year old Kathryn Johnson in Atlanta previously mentioned here, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported yesterday this story: Feds told officer’s lie led to fatal drug bust<\/a>:<\/p>\n

An Atlanta police narcotics officer has told federal investigators at least one member of his unit lied about making a drug buy at the home of an elderly woman killed in a subsequent raid, according to a person close to the investigation.<\/p>\n

In an affidavit to get a search warrant at the home Nov. 21, narcotics officer Jason R. Smith told a magistrate he and Officer Arthur Tesler had a confidential informant buy $50 worth of crack at 933 Neal St. from a man named “Sam.”<\/p>\n

But narcotics officer Gregg Junnier, who was wounded in the shootout, has since told federal investigators that did not happen, according to the person close to the investigation. Police got a no-knock warrant after claiming that “Sam” had surveillance cameras outside the Neal Street residence and they needed the element of surprise to capture him and the drugs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
