Police say they had reason to believe the woman was assaulted by somebody inside the house, and when officers approached the house, a man carrying a kitchen knife refused to open the door.
They say officers from the emergency response unit, school resource officers and a crisis negotiator were all called to the scene.
A man was arrested at about 3:15 p.m., and faces eight charges related to the incident, including two counts of assault with a weapon. He remains in custody and will appear in court Nov. 20.
Police say they are continuing to investigate, and are holding the house as a crime scene while they wait for a search warrant.
