Salem, AR. – A man from Fulton County Arkansas has been arrested recently after erratic behavior escalated to assault and hospitalization for one woman.
According to the probable cause statement on the case, the Police Department for the city of Salem responded to Fulton County Hospital on the report of an assault. The victim stated in an interview that the aggressor, identified as Lance Goodman, 30, had been acting in a fashion that scared her and that Goodman was previously yelling at her to provoke a physical response.
The victim felt she had to slap Lance to get him away from her, which caused Goodman to escalate the situation by lifting her off the ground by her throat and slamming her on the concrete they were on. The victim’s mother was reported to have to step in to stop the assault, and officers took photos of the victim’s injuries.
Goodman is looking at a Felony charge of Aggravated Assault against a Family or Household Member, and 3rd Degree Domestic Battery, a class A misdemeanor.
