Man arrested after domestic disturbance

Officers responded to another domestic dispute in Chatham that also resulted in an arrest.

According to police, a man attended a woman's residence and she wouldn't let him in. The man then allegedly began banging on the window until it broke.

He was held in police custody pending a bail hearing.
