WATERVILLE, Wash. -- A Loomis couple is suing the Okanogan County drug task force over
their arrest for mailing a package of catnip.

Inspectors thought the catnip was marijuana after a drug dog ripped it open.

In the suit filed last month in Okanogan County Superior Court, Oral and Pamela Criswell
say agents unlawfully searched their home, causing more than 20-thousand dollars
damage. They say they were pushed to the ground and abused.

Charges were dismissed when a judge ruled that task force agents had insufficient facts for
a search warrant.
