GUILDERLAND — A heated domestic dispute on Saturday ended, police say, with the husband barricaded in his home and his wife locked outside.

Guilderland Police responded to a call about a verbal dispute at 6348 Hawes Rd. in Altamont, between Salvatore J. Fusco and his wife. According to the police report, officers found Fusco’s wife outside of their residence saying that her husband destroyed property within the home and had locked her out.

When attempting to interview Fusco, the report says, officers discovered pieces of furniture against the home’s doors, barricading himself inside. The report continues, saying, Fusco would not respond to officers and that police had to close their roadway for nearly two hours on Saturday afternoon.

Investigator John Tashjian of the Guilderland Police Department was eventually able to speak with Fusco after several previous attempts, the report says, and convinced him to come out.

There were no further incidents once Fusco was in police custody, according to the report. Fusco was arraigned before Guilderland Town Judge Denise Randall and an order of protection was issued against Fusco by his wife. Fusco is charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree obstructing governmental administration, both misdemeanors.
