Schupp wouldn't let officers into the home so they had to force entry to get to the 36-year-old woman, who they found with "serious facial injuries, including bruising to both eyes and major swelling to her face and jaw," Smith said.
Hamden Fire Rescue responded and treated the victim before she was taken to the Hospital of Saint Raphael, Smith said.
