Depends on the wording of the warrant.
Depends on the circumstances.
Depends.

Depends.
Now tell us what happened to you and what the circumstances were and maybe you'll get some helpful comments.
By the way, the word "can" denotes the ability to do something, not whether it's done rightly or wrongly.

Yes, if the person to be arrested lives (or is reasonably believed to live) at the residence and there is reason to believe that person is currently there.
If not at the home of the person named in the warrant entry can still be made but police have some extra steps and considerations.
If you want to provide a more detailed scenario we can assess more closely.
