Dean Cutsforth appeals a judgment convicting him of operating while intoxicated, second offense. He also appeals an order denying postconviction relief. He contends that his warrantless arrest violated his Fourth Amendment rights, requiring the suppression of all evidence taken incident to the unlawful arrest. He contends that no exigent circumstances allowed the police to enter his home to arrest him.
This court disagrees and affirms.
This opinion will not be published.
