Suspect Arrested on Attempted 2nd Degree Murder

Monday, July 26, 2010 - David W. Ryan

Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Taylor Road north of Jonesville Sunday night for a domestic disturbance and warned of the potential use of a shotgun.
Once on the scene officers removed Mandy Goodwin from harm’s way and secured her in a deputy’s car.

Officers then coaxed her husband Bobby Joe Goodwin, out of the home, without further incident, where he was arrested and charged with attempted 2nd degree murder, domestic abuse battery, and illegal use of weapons. Bond has yet to be set.

“We take domestic abuse very seriously because we know most officers who are killed in the line of duty are responding to domestic abuse calls,” Sheriff James Kelly said. “So our deputies are always on hyper alert and sensitive to the situation when it involves a domestic disturbance.”

Sheriff Kelly also noted how pleased he was with his deputies in handling a potential deadly situation.

In connection with other arrests last week Sheriff Kelly said his deputies continue to work hard, “…rounding up people who have outstanding warrants or those involved with drug abuse and/or committing other crimes. “

Also, Sheriff Kelly noted the Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s office continues to working closely with Concordia, LaSalle, Caldwell and Franklin Parish Sheriff Offices, “…especially where drugs are involved.”
