A Vernon man with an extensive criminal history is facing a half-dozen charges after a Monday-morning domestic incident, police said.
Police said Brian Baddeley, 31, was taken into custody after the incident at his 155 West Main St. apartment at the Springville Mill complex.
Police responded to the incident at 2:01 a.m. on Monday, according to an arrest report. When officers arrived, they heard a man yelling and a woman crying, according to an arrest report.
Officers had to yell several times themselves to get Baddeley to crack the door open, but he refused to open the door further until officers forced it open, according to an arrest report.
He then wrestled with officers before being taken into custody.

Police said he has been charged with:
• Interfering.
• Disorderly conduct.
• Third-degree assault.
• Second-degree threatening.
• Second-degree strangulation.
