   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1472
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Police officers had probable cause to arrest 
   defendant based on reports and their own observations; defendant came to 
   the door of his residence voluntarily and was in a public place when the 
   officers attempted to arrest him; defendant could not thwart an otherwise 
   proper arrest by retreating into the home after an officer had seized his 
   arm; the officers, who believed defendant was in possession of a sawed-off 
   shotgun had a legitimate concern for their safety, and their warrantless 
   entry into the home was supported by exigent circumstances; officers could 
   obtain a warrant to seize the shotgun which was in plain view when the 
   entered the home.
