The man also had two outstanding warrants for gun and drug charges.
In a separate incident later Saturday morning, officers responded to a call for service on Maple Street that also resulted in a domestic violence investigation.
Mansfield Police obtained a court-authorized search warrant.
During the search, detectives seized 128 grams of suspected cocaine, two 9mm firearms and additional drugs, including steroids/testosterone and psilocybin mushrooms.
A 32-year-old man of Mansfield was charged with trafficking in 100 grams or more of cocaine, possession of a Class C drug (two counts), possession of a Class E drug, procuring liquor for a person under the age of 21, reckless endangerment of a child, assault and battery on an intimate partner, and disorderly conduct.
A 32-year-old woman of East Providence, Rhode Island, was charged with suffocation or strangulation.
Additional charges may be filed at the conclusion of the investigation.
Officers maintained continuous hospital watches due to the medical needs of two of the suspects, requiring additional 24-hour staffing over an extended period while the department continued to maintain full police coverage throughout Mansfield.
