Berwyn Heights Mayor Cleans Up After Deputies Raid His Home

My Fox Washington DC reports:
BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md. – The mayor of the tiny town of Berwyn Heights, Maryland says he's in shock after police and sheriff's deputies raided his home, handcuffing him and shooting his two dogs.

Authorities say they were looking for drugs, but Mayor Cheye Calvo says he knows nothing about a box containing 32 pounds of marijuana that was delivered to his home.

Prince George's County Police say they called in sheriff's deputies to raid the mayor's house on Tuesday night because their own SWAT Team was not available. Deputies busted into the home after Calvo took the box inside his house.
