The Wyoming Supreme Court recently reversed a man’s conviction for interference with a peace officer after determining that officers entered his home without a warrant and were not involved in the ”lawful performance of their official duties.”
The state high court determined that Myron Martize Woods’ charge for misdemeanor interference with a peace officer couldn’t stand given the circumstances of the officers’ warrantless entry into Woods’ home and the state had not shown justification for such entry to effectuate a warrantless arrest, Justice Lynne J. Boomgaarden wrote for the court in an April 17 opinion.
