In November 2013, Sergeant Romero responded to a domestic disturbance at the Starrett residence. During the incident, Mrs. Starrett closed the door to prevent entry without a warrant. Sergeant Romero attempted to push past her, leading to a struggle. Mrs. Starrett alleged that Officer Ramsey then threw her to the ground, resulting in a broken arm. She sued for unlawful arrest and excessive force. The court granted summary judgment to the officers, concluding they were entitled to qualified immunity as the law was not clearly established in this context.
