PHOENIX A bounty hunter was arrested after gathering a posse and mistakenly trying to raid the home of Phoenix's chief of police, officials said on Wednesday. 
 
 Brent Farley, 43, and 10 others surrounded Chief Joseph Yahner's home around 10 p.m. local time on Tuesday, thinking they were cornering an Oklahoma fugitive wanted on a drug charge, the department said in a statement. 
 
 Police said the bounty hunters were told they had the wrong address and were asked to leave numerous times. 
 
 The department said Farley, who confronted the chief after banging on the door and demanding he come outside, was carrying a handgun at the time, as were several others. 
 
 A video of the incident provided by police showed Chief Yahner, clad only in his underwear, stepping outside his home with a baton in his hand and approaching the bounty hunters. Phoenix police spokesman Trent Crump said there was no physical altercation. 
 
 Crump said eight of the individuals were men and the three others were women, including a relative of one of the men who was riding along and an 11-year-old girl who was wearing a toy gun belt. 
 
 The bondsmen were working on behalf of two bond recovery companies, NorthStar Fugitive Recovery and Delta One Tactical Recovery, police said, and appeared to have acted on an unconfirmed tip on the suspect's location from social media. 
 
 Farley was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing. Crump said additional charges against the 10 others were possible as well as for Farley, who is a felon. 
 
 The recovery firms could not be immediately reached for comment. But a posting by NorthStar on its Facebook account earlier on Tuesday asked for tips as to the location of the fugitive, a black man. Yahner is white.

Police said "unconfirmed information from social media" led the bounty hunters to Yahner's home.
– Asking for tips on social media isn't the most reliable way to track down a fugitive, as 11 armed bounty hunters found out the hard way in Phoenix on Tuesday night. They converged on a home around 10pm only to discover, after a confrontation, that it was the residence of Police Chief Joseph Yahner, the LA Times reports. Police say that when they were called to Yahner's address, they found employees of NorthStar Fugitive Recovery and Delta One Tactical Recovery surrounding the home, with one man banging on the door with a weapon and ordering the chief to come out, the Arizona Republic reports. Police video of the incident shows the furious chief emerging in his underwear to confront the men. Brent Farley, the owner of NorthStar, was arrested on charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, reports the LA Times. The bounty hunters were seeking a drug fugitive from Oklahoma who, unlike the chief of police, is black and weighs 310 pounds. The bounty hunters followed an "unconfirmed tip," police say, and Reuters reports that NorthStar had asked for tips earlier in the day on its Facebook page, which has apparently now been taken down. The former president of the Arizona Bail Bondsmen Association tells the Republic that such mistakes are the result of weak state laws for bail bondsmen that allow anyone to act like "John Wayne all day long, without any education or training."
