Cops can arrest people without warrants depending on the situation.
Wasn't your fault, OP
I think they had a warrant for his arrest.
But not to enter the home. He was just the boyfriend, not a permanent resident. (He was, but not on police records other than a "this is a place he might be" kind of thing.
By opening the door, I basically invited them in to carry out the warrant they did have.
He technically only got one year in federal prison for his threatening letter to the judge. But because he kept refusing to take a mental evaluation test, he was stuck there for almost twice as long until he finally started cooperating.
