There were at least two other people inside the house that were questioned by police.

The police did obtain a search warrant when they realized they stumbled upon a significant drug manufacturing operation. (Search warrant #41-14259F issued by Harrison County Justice of Peace Nancy George).

The search warrant gave local and federal officers (DEA) the authority to search and seize the drug lab.

Of course, the "plain view" discovery of the clandestine lab was only made possible by the warrantless search under claims of exigent circumstances.

Are the facts that a neighbor called 911 and reported shots fired and the presence of two people inside sufficient to establish exigent circumstances?

Did the behavior of the intoxicated suspects to resist and prevent officers from entering the property contributed to exigent circumstances?

Still in jail a month later?
