   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2091
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. A reasonable police officer could have believed
   that exigent circumstances justified entering plaintiff's home without a
   warrant, and the district court did not err in dismissing plaintiff's claim
   alleging an unreasonable search under the Fourth Amendment; officers
   had probable cause to arrest plaintiff based on dispatcher's report that he
   had assaulted the first responders to a possible medical emergency in the
   home; force used to subdue and arrest plaintiff was not unreasonable
   under the circumstances, and the police defendants were entitled to
   qualified immunity on his excessive force claim; officers were not
   deliberately indifferent to plaintiff's medical needs as there was
   insufficient evidence to show that his need for medical treatment was so
   obvious that they exhibited deliberate indifference by taking him to jail;
   as the individual officers had not violated the Constitution, the sheriff and
   county could not be liable for failure to train. Judge Smith, concurring in
   part and dissenting in part.
