Williston Woman Faces Charges of Assaulting a Police Officer on Valentine’s Day

Williston, ND (KEYZ)  Many police officers will tell you that among the most dangerous calls they answer are domestic disputes, and for the second time in as many weeks a Williston Police officer is injured answering such a call, the latest was last night in the 1500 block of 45th Street West.  Once the two officers arrived, the fighting had died down, but both husband and wife appeared drunk, the wife Amy Goodsky was in violation of a previous court order that she not drink.

As officers attempted to arrest Ms Goodsky, who was allegedly resisting, they noticed a white substance in her mouth.  As one of the officers tried to retrieve it before she could swallow the evidence, she allegedly bit down on the officers fingers causing pain and drawing blood.

Still according to the report, Goodsky would not go quietly, she began to kick at the officers and attempt to slam a door in their faces. They eventually subdued her and used a leg hobbling device to get her into the police car.

Exactly a week prior to this event, on February 7th, officers responding to a domestic dispute in the 29-hundred block of 26th Street West, arrested  Christopher Hopkins for spousal abuse and assaulting an officer after Hopkins allegedly head-butted the officer closest to him in the face and nose.
