Cleveland police officers arrested a man after attempting to serve a domestic assault warrant today at at 242 East St. NE in Cleveland, Tenn., according to a police official.
Senneca Harris, 38, refused to make contact with police officers and the other owner of the residence, who was the victim in the domestic assault, gave consent for officers to enter the residence.
It was then that officers learned that Harris had barricaded himself in the front bedroom with one of the children.
Several attempts were made to negotiate with Harris, however, negotiations were unsuccessful.
When officers heard the child begin to cry, entry was made into the bedroom. Harris relinquished the child to officers and Harris was placed in custody without further incident.
Harris has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping.
