WASHINGTON COUNTY — A 22-year-old Nashville, Illinois man has been found mentally unfit to stand trial on multiple charges including home invasion.

Wyatt Goza is currently held in the Washington County Jail but will be remanded to the custody of the Department of Human Services. Court records show it expected Goza could attain mental fitness within one year of treatment.

He was arrested in January after Nashville police responded to a report of a domestic dispute in the 500 block of West Chester Street.

It was ultimately determined it was only a verbal altercation and officers left after taking one person at the scene 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.

Upon their arrival, officers reportedly found 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 they 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.
