Mayor and P.G. settle suit over raid, slain dogs

Prince George’s County will be settling a lawsuit brought by the mayor of Berwyn Heights whose two dogs were killed during SWAT raid. Police believed Mayor Cheye Calvo was part of a marijuana distribution ring when they raided his house in 2008 and killed his dogs. But it turned out Calvo had no idea marijuana was inside a package that was shipped to his home by drug dealers. The drug ring, police later said, likely meant to intercept the package before Calvo brought it inside.
