FERRIDAY, La. — Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office has arrested and charged a man with attempted vehicular homicide and simple battery after he reportedly ran over a man and punched a woman in the face in Ferriday.

At 6:42 p.m. on Sunday, Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from witnesses who stated a pedestrian had been run over by a vehicle, CPSO public information director Brandy Spears said.

Spears said the suspect William A. Goodwin, 61, of Ferriday, had already left the scene and Robert Jefferson Reid had been transported to Trinity Medical Center with road rash on his left leg and blood on his face, but he was conscious, she said.

Witnesses stated they saw Goodwin run over Reid, back up and run over him again. The vehicle was a 2007 GMC Sierra. Trina Michelle Liening, while attempting to stop the vehicle, was also allegedly punched in the face by Goodwin and broke her glasses.

Motive for the incident is unknown, however, Spears said Reid and Liening had been staying with Goodwin at his residence and were beginning to leave when the incident happened.

Deputies arrested Goodwin on Sunday at his residence on Cowan Street in Ferriday without further incident.
