Schwartz told Trooper Shortt that a woman and child came to his residence in response to a domestic disturbance at their home, and that a man came to his residence thereafter and kicked in his door. After the Hamilton police officers arrived, Schwartz telephoned ISP Trooper Maggie Shortt to seek advice as to the proper ISP procedures to follow when having someone arrested. Officers from the Hamilton Police Department and ISP 2 responded to the 911 call. Schwartz called 911 to report a breaking and entering claiming that White had unlawfully entered his residence. White left, but returned a short time later throwing a clay pot through a window pane abutting the door to the residence. White and Schwartz then engaged in a physical altercation in Schwartz s residence. White found Lautzenheiser and Carper in a state of undress. Schwartz opened the door for White, allowing him into the residence and pointed toward the bathroom. Sometime thereafter, Lee White arrived at Schwartz s residence and was looking for his girlfriend, Lautzenheiser. After boating, the three returned to Schwartz s residence.
