WARRINGTON, PA — Police arrested a 32-year-old man on strangulation and assault charges following a domestic disturbance on May 19, 2026.
Warrington Police responded to Basswood Court at approximately 9:09 a.m. for a report of a domestic disturbance in progress.
Matthew Christopher Glassie, of Southampton, allegedly broke into a residence through a window following an argument with the victim.
Officers arrived on scene and found Glassie outside the home shirtless, covered in scratches and small bleeding cuts, while yelling and cursing at police.
According to the victim, Glassie became enraged inside the residence, knocking items off a dresser and breaking glasses.
The victim attempted to separate from him by locking him out of a room, but Glassie allegedly broke the door down and began strangling the victim while stating “You’re going to die.”
Officers observed red marks on the victim’s neck consistent with the assault.
The victim was eventually able to escape, throw Glassie’s phone out a window, and lock him out of the residence before calling 911.
Glassie was taken into custody and transported to police headquarters for processing.
He was arraigned by Judge Petrucci, who set bail at $1,000,000 or 10% cash.
Bucks County Probation also lodged a detainer against Glassie due to him currently being on probation.
Glassie is charged with strangulation, terroristic threats and simple assault.
