MOBILE, AL. A Mobile woman says that she’s still in shock and demands that the police fix her home after they caused extensive damage while trying to serve someone else with an arrest warrant.
Kimberly Collins said that when she arrived home on Lincon Street in the Trinity Gardens, police pulled guns on her and told her to get back.
. Now, the homeowner says she wants the city to pay for repairs.
Mobile police confirmed that two men were arrested on drug charges and attempting to elude following the operation at the home on Lincoln Street.
Police said that the men refused to come out and the SWAT team’s armored vehicle did help to make entry to the structure.
Collins said that the machine ripped the door and frame from the house and a porch column was knocked down into the yard, glass was shattered inside the home, and she said that her car was also damaged and it was all unnecessary.
A spokesperson for the Mobile police said that officers followed protocol and their policies and procedures and declined further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
Police arrested 22-year-old Darrell Richardson on charges of attempting to elude and first-degree possession of marijuana. Collins’ son, 25-year-old Ta’Varess Collins, was also arrested for possession of a controlled substance and attempting to elude. Collins disputes the allegation that her son tried to run.
Police have executed a warrant previously at the same address.
In 2023, her younger son, Sidney Collins, was sentenced to nearly six years in federal prison after attempting to bring a loaded gun that was illegally modified with a Glock switch into a nightclub on Dauphin Street. The 24-year-old is also one of six people charged in the February 15, 2022, drive-by shooting death of 14-year-old Daniel Blackmon on Cheshire Drive South. Collins is scheduled to go on trial for murder in less than two weeks.
