person brought to my house has overdosed and was brought to my home without me knowing before the person was brought. I did CPR and revived the person.Police and paramedics were dispatched to my residence. I revived the person before a deputy walked up to my door he asked where the person who overdosed was and tried to gain entry. I was in my doorway blocking entry and told the deputy that I do not give him consent to enter and that I would bring the person out to him in just a minute. After I told the deputy that, he grabbed my arm and pulled me from the inside of my house out onto my deck and forced my arms behind my back and handcuffed me. He then left me on the porch and entered my home. I repeatedly asked why I was in handcuffs and what crime was I being detained or arrested for. I spent over * minutes in handcuffs and asked * different deputies why I was in cuffs and no one ever gave me an answer. Were my rights violated?
