A SWAT team brought in to evict a 63-year-old woman from her home in Idaho Springs, Colo., ended up clashing with protesters affiliated with Occupy Denver who surrounded the woman's home.

The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Department told KUSA-TV in Denver that the team was called on after reports that one of the two dozen protesters there had a concealed handgun. The officers reportedly showed up to the scene pointing assault rifles at the protesters

"Usually, an eviction doesn't call for a tactical team," Capt. Bruce Snelling said.

"About 10 vehicles filled with men in what appeared to be full battle gear (and assault weapons already in hand) began to fill the road in front of the house," Occupy Denver said. "With all their firepower and intimidation techniques, they targeted the least imposing person there. They put him face down in the dirt and gravel, and cuffed his hands behind him with their zip-tie cuffs."

Two protesters were detained in the squabble, but no one was arrested or charged with a crime. The reported handgun on one of the protesters turned out to be a BB gun, KUSA-TV reported.
