   Authorities in Phoenix are investigating a tip that led bounty   
   hunters searching for a fugitive to the home of the city's   
   police chief.   
      
   Bounty hunter Brent Farley was arrested after he allegedly   
   refused to leave the home of Phoenix Police Chief Joseph Yahner   
   late Tuesday. The bounty hunters were looking for a 6-foot-3-   
   inch, 310-pound black man who was wanted on drug charges in   
   Oklahoma.   
      
   Instead, the 11 armed bounty hunters arrived at the home of   
   Yahner, who is white.   
      
   "We have some -- I don't know if they're bounty hunters or what   
   they are," the police chief's girlfriend told 911 dispatchers.   
   "They just banged on our door and they're looking for somebody."   
      
   Police said the bounty hunters were acting on an unconfirmed tip   
   they received through social media.   
      
   Farley, an account manager at Northstar Fugitive Recovery in   
   Arizona, was charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct.   
   Police said he had his handgun unholstered during the   
   confrontation outside Yahner's home and refused to leave the   
   property.   
      
   "Even after the situation had been deescalated, one of them   
   wouldn't leave and demanded the chief identify himself, even   
   though the man they were looking for was a heavy-set black man,"   
   Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump said.   
      
   Farley has not yet entered a plea.
