Rhiannon Kephart - Victim Of The War Against Cannabis

[Jim Finnel]

In January 2005, 18-year-old Rhiannon Kephart received second- and third-degree burns to her chest and stomach when police set off a stun grenade during a drug raid. The explosion also started a small fire.

Kephart, who was in bed or just waking up at the time of the raid, was a visitor in the apartment that was raided and was not a target of the investigation. The intended target of the raid — the apartment's occupant, 24-year-old Michael Johnson — had allegedly imported large quantities of marijuana into the U.S. from Canada.

Niagara Falls Police Superintendent John Chella called the incident "very unfortunate."
