The woman said her ex-boyfriend was under the influence of methamphetamine, and after entering her home, he punched her and threw a garbage can at her, police said in a news release Monday.
The man allegedly forced her out of the home and remained inside.
When officers got to the home, the front door was barricaded with a table. Police went inside and found the man in the basement holding a hatchet.
The man was arrested and held in detention cells overnight for court on Monday.
He faces charges of break and enter, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
