During the evening hours of Saturday, March 7, 202 During the evening hours of Saturday, March 7, 2026, DS H. Card responded to a residence in the 8000 block of NW 31st Ave regarding an armed disturbance. Once on scene, DS Card made contact with the victim and a witness. It was discovered that the victim and the suspect, 50-year-old William Goodman, engaged in a verbal dispute. During the argument, Goodman reportedly lifted his shirt, revealing a black handgun. He then grabbed the firearm from his waistband and pointed it at the victim. Goodman then left the area in a blue Subaru. The witness’ statement to law enforcement corroborated the victim’s statement. Deputies canvassed the area for Goodman and located a vehicle matching the description given to law enforcement by the victim. A high-risk traffic stop was conducted in the 6900 block of SW 8th Ave., and Goodman was detained. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted and inside deputies located a black semi-automatic handgun and a small package of marijuana. Goodman was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Possession of Cannabis Less than 20 grams.
