Richland-Iowa-Grant Drug Task Force members entered the apartment about 10:15 p.m. and arrested its two occupants in what police considered a "high-risk" drug bust, according to the Dodgeville Police Department. Minutes later, they realized that they were in the wrong place and released the occupants. The officers then headed to the right apartment, where they arrested four people after discovering marijuana and drug paraphernalia, police said. Task Force Director Lt. Scott Marquardt said the task force was reviewing what led to the accidental arrests. He said the task force was sorry for what happened to the innocent neighbors. "We're very disappointed," Marquardt said. "We regret the stress and the inconvenience that we caused. That's not how we do business." Marquardt said police wouldn't release the names of the people who were wrongly arrested. The people arrested in the correct apartment were taken to the Iowa County Jail. Marquardt refused to release their names. - --- MAP posted-by: SHeath(DPF Florida)
