Thank you for that gratuitous ad hominem.
What Lanis was doing prior to answering the door is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT.
As for Payton v. New York, you misread it. You didn't grasp that the officers didn't enter the house to arrest Lanis. They did that at the door when he opened it. He was then
under arrest. His submission to that arrest isn't relevant either in terms of the officers entering the house.
What counts is, once arrested--which Lanis was--the officers had a duty to restrain and take him into custody. If someone resists arrest and flees the officers, they can institute a pursuit of that individual, including into their home. They aren't entering to make an arrest. They are entering to pursue a fleeing suspect that is already under arrest.
In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court justices ruled that unless there is an emergency, police cannot force their way into a misdemeanor suspect’s home without first getting a warrant.
The ruling does not apply to felony pursuits.

In United States v. Mendenhall, the Supreme Court held that someone is seized when, in view of all the circumstances surrounding the incident, a reasonable person would have believed they were not free to leave.
In this article, Christian Bugher discusses the current circuit split on whether a constitutional violation occurs when police constructively enter a suspect’s home without a warrant.

Lanis' coming to the door and the police, without entering his home telling him he is under arrest means he is now held and not free to leave. His fleeing police turned it into a felony flight situation and the police were free to initiate a pursuit. It would be absurd to think that someone the police have told is under arrest could simply retreat into their home, close the door, and the police were subsequently unable to affect the arrest they had initiated.
