You can look up the details of the case on your own. Living here in Houston, I've been exposed to the details of this case from the get go.

From a quick Google search I found this:

The law was challenged after John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner were arrested Sept. 17, 1998, when police entered Lawrence's unlocked apartment and found the men engaging in consensual sex. They were charged with "deviant homosexual conduct."

The officers entered the house after a third man falsely reported an armed intruder was inside. That man, Robert Royce Eubanks, who was Garner's roommate, was convicted of filing a false report and sentenced to 30 days in jail.
