officers pepper sprayed a black teenager in his white foster parents' home after they mistook him for a burglar, authorities have said.

Cops responded to the home in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina after a neighbor saw 18-year-old DeShawn Currie entering his family's home through an unlocked side door.

The teenager, who moved in with the Tyler family a year ago, said he was stunned when three police officers entered the home and demanded to know who he was.

'They was like, "Put your hands on the door",' DeShawn told WTVD. 'I was like, "For what? This is my house." I was like, "Why are y'all in here?"'Cops pepper sprayed black teen inside his white foster family's home after assuming he was a burglar
