U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Shepherd and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The police officers' alleged violation of

before the alleged violation of the knock-and-announce rule. See Hudson v.
Michigan, 547 U.S. 586 (2006).
