Man Arrested In Home Invasion: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A Waterbury man has been arrested in connection with a home invasion early Friday morning in Wallingford, according to police.

Police responded to a Franklin Street home around 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 24 on the report of a domestic-related incident. Officers determined that the man had broken into the home through a window around 2 a.m. and assaulted a female victim inside.

The man is accused of dragging the victim by her hair from within the home, to the front porch, and down the front stairway before fleeing on foot, according to police.

Police said the man is accused of saying that he was going to kill and kidnap the victim in the process.

The victim suffered injuries that police said were minor because of the incident.

The man was arrested Saturday on a warrant. He was charged with home invasion, third-degree assault, criminal attempt to commit second-degree kidnapping and second-degree threatening. He was held in lieu of a $1 million bond.

Police said there was no risk to the public because it was an “isolated event.”
