A Tulsa woman is talking about her experience after bounty hunters kicked in her door looking for a fugitive the realizing they had the wrong address.
The incident happened last week. Police say a 70-year old woman, "Mary," was getting ready to take a bath when she heard the bounty hunters banging on her door, demanding they let her in. She called 911 and asked the dispatcher if she could put the phone down long enough to get her gun, but was told to stay on the line.
That's when the door was kicked in.
"He said, this is 124? I said, no, it's not 124, and I said you had to have known that," Mary said. "My mailbox is right next to it and my numbers on it ... and they're big white letters. You couldn't have missed it."
Turns out two of the three bounty hunters had warrants for their arrests and were later booked in jail. All three men were cited for breaking and entering.
