">>The sheriff’s office report states that “the man [Mark Kuhn] refused to identify himself and slammed the door on the officer’s hand, breaking the glass pane out of the door and cutting the officer’s hand.”<<

On the surface it does not sound like the deputy had cause to be forcing his way into the home in the first place"

The Asheville Citizen Times broke the story but their stuff can't be posted here. A freakinasheville.com chat board poster claims this:

"i saw the news report in which the witness spoke, too. the officer wanted id's to make out a ticket, they closed and locked the door on him and would not open the door. the witness said the officer broke the glass, opened the deadlock and entered the home"

Interesting. In general, delivering a ticket should not be cause to break into a home without a warrant.

I think this is gonna be a false arrest in the end.
