PONDERAY -- The Sandpoint Police Department on a drug raid broke into the wrong northern Idaho home on Wednesday.

Police had their search warrant amended and returned to the Ponderay Mobile Home Park to raid the right trailer two doors away.

Police say they found illegal drugs on the second attempt and took a suspect into custody.

Police then made a third trip to pay $350 to replace the door on the home they raided by mistake.

Sandpoint Police Chief Mark Lockwood says "It was our mistake. We told the owner we will take care of any damages."

Sandpoint attorney Bryce W. Powell says he has a hard time believing that police exercised reasonable care before violating the homeowner's rights.
