One person at the scene was taken into custody on an outstanding Perry County warrant.

However, officers were later called back to the same address for a reported home invasion and active battery taking place.

Upon their arrival, officers reportedly found a male subject – later identified as Goza — punching another individual who was unconscious.

Officers placed Goza under arrest and EMS was called to evaluate the injured individual.

But police say as were taking Goza to a squad car, he allegedly threatened and attempted to disarm one officer and when they managed to get him into the back seat of a squad car, he kicked the door causing significant damage.

He was taken to the Washington County Jail where he was secured into a restraint chair until he calmed down.

He was ultimately charged with Class X felony home invasion causing injury, and Class 2 felonies for aggravated domestic battery involving strangling, attempting to disarm a police officer, and aggravated battery of a police officer.
