Goodman resisted Deputy Constable Terry Ashabranner, who pulled him over for riding his bike at night without lights. He fled on foot. Constable Ashabranner released his police dog, Nero, to stop him. Goodman, taunting the deputy, tried to drown Nero in a nearby puddle. The deputy pulled Goodman off of the ground, raising Nero's head from the water. Goodman reached for a pair of pliers in his pocket. The deputy shot him, then radioed for help. Goodman was pronounced dead at a hospital.
