After showing her his badge, the man approached Lumpkin and asked her to let him in on the opposite side of the building. She gave him the courtesy of opening the door. She was unaware that the man was an undercover ATF agent attempting to enter the building in preparation for a raid.
Lumpkin was shocked to see 15 to 20 ATF officers enter the building in full tactical gear after unlocking the door for the man. She was asked to take the officers to the floor they needed to be on with the help of her dog.

Lumpkin stepped up to the plate and assumed control despite his disbelief at the circumstances. “I have no idea why my dumbass decided to go… In a TikTok video, Lumpkin declared, “I seized control.
The person the officers, were looking for during the raid was absent. The suspect was staying with someone in Lumpkin’s apartment complex.
