Parkersburg police arrested a man on felony warrants for burglary and malicious wounding.
Fredrick Scott Charlton, 37, of Parkersburg was arrested Sunday, according to a news release from the Parkersburg Police Department. A criminal complaint filed in Wood County Magistrate Court by Detective L.R.

After being denied entry by the victim, Charlton allegedly used bodily force to bust the lock on the door and gain entry. Once inside, the complaint said, Charlton grabbed the victim by the back of the head and forcibly smashed her face into a wall, causing multiple fractures to her face.
