United States Sixth Circuit

The denial of Petitioner's habeas petition in a resisting arrest case is affirmed, where: 1) the ordinance under which Petitioner was charged was not void for vagueness; and 2) the officers who entered Petitioner's home did so under exigent circumstances because they sought access to a crime scene.
