Officers Robert Soeder and Allan Meyer responded at approx 11pm to a landlord's call that tenants who had been served an eviction notice were still in the apartment. They knocked and identified themselves, then allegedly entered through the unlocked door. Duncklee and a woman were sleeping in a bedroom.
