Springfield, MO asked in Criminal Law for Kansas

Q: Welfare check in KS. Someone requested for my residence. I was not in danger, just had a argument with boyfriend.

The argument was resolved. Few minutes later, loud pounding at my door. Idk who it was, I knew it wasn't my BF. They said police here for walfare check. I then said I didn't request one. Open door slightly and told them ok I am good. They ask can they come in I said no I don't want you too. I was told by one of the cops they coming in anyway. So 6 cops enter my home with no evidence of anything happened.There was not physical altercations between either one of us. They said someone reported a stabbing and a assault. I ensured them that I was not harmed nor my BF. They asked where he was. I didn't know cause was outside last I check. They searched my home didn't find him in the house. Ask his name I ask why gave first name i was startled that I couldn't remember his last name. So now I have obstruction of LEO. How do I fight this

A: I'd recommend either getting a public defender or hiring a criminal defense attorney.
