Kenneth Wright had his front door kicked and dozens of armed men dressed in black carrying automatic weapons piled through the shattered doorway.
He was hauled out of his house by the neck in his underwear and thrown to the ground before being handcuffed.
In another room the same thing was happening to his three kids.
Wright wasn't a felon, a murder fleeing justice. He wasn't even a drug dealer or user. Wright's alleged crime was being married to a woman who defaulted on her student loans.
Wright told ABC 10 in Stockton, Calif., that the Education Department was after unpaid federal loans owed by his ex-wife. "They busted my door for this," Wright says. The claim has been repeated by numerous news outlets who picked up the story, which is so popular it appears to have crashed the local station's site.
