Speaking to her followers, ‘tayylumpp’ explained how when she went to let her dog out, she saw an officer trying to get into the apartment. After showing her his badge, he said he needed to get to the other side of the building.

After they walked across, the officer said he had to go get something and asked her to hold the door open.

“Next thing I know, 20 of these [SWAT team members] come in and they’re walking towards me,” she said.

Before she knew it, she actually ended up leading the SWAT team up the steps to the floor they needed to get to.

“I don’t know why my dumbass decided to go,” she laughed. “I took charge, I don’t know!”

In another follow-up, the TikToker explained that she didn’t want to be put in witness protection and urged the person staying in the room not to “put a hit” on her for letting the police in.

It’s not clear why the SWAT team was needed, but the officers were thankful for the woman’s help and urged her to give them a call if she ever got pulled over.
