Before Topeka police busted into his home, David Reynolds was in between classes and washing his dog, he said in a Facebook video. But when Reynolds — who was wearing only underwear — slammed the door shut, police forced their way in with guns drawn and handcuffed him.

“Fearing for the female’s safety, officers forced entry. The purpose was to check and see if the female was injured or needing assistance,” police said. “In emergency situations such as this, officers are not required to have a search warrant if they have a reasonable belief that a person may be in immediate danger.”

The person was detained while officers searched the home to see if anyone inside was injured, police said. He was released after officers didn’t find anyone else inside. Police left after the apartment manager was summoned to fix the door.
