SWAT Team Update: It Was Student Loan Fraud

In 2010, the Washington Post ran a piece about the U.S. Department of Education being in the market for 27 shotguns.

Those curious about what the Department of Education could be doing with those shotguns got an illustrated answer yesterday when this story ran: a Stockton, Calif., man was pulled out of his house by a SWAT team based on a warrant signed by the Department of Education’s Office of the Inspector General.

Initial reports suggested the SWAT team was pursuing unpaid student loans left by Kenneth Wright’s estranged wife Michelle — an allegation that made little sense to us at insideARM at the time. However, Wright, the gentlemen on the wrong end of a knee-to-the-back, gave a heart-felt plea to other student loan holders as part of a television news piece, reminding them that student loans are no laughing matter, and need to be repaid.
