Police Say Naked Man Assaulted an Officer

A naked man high on ‘magic mushrooms’  is accused of assaulting a police officer and an emergency medical worker this afternoon in a Palmer Township home, according to The Morning Call.

The story reports that Garrison L. Goodman, 31, of Upper Nazareth Township had taken a hallucinogenic drug and then attempted to ‘dive or fly’ down the steps at 1202 Dunkle St.

When Suburban Medical Services arrived, Goodman was in the front yard, naked and suffering from some wounds, according the article. Goodman attacked the EMT trying to help him, and when Wilson policeman Marc Crisafulli arrived, Goodman attacked him too.

The melee ended, the report indicates, when Crisafulli shocked Goodman with a Taser. Goodman is now in Northampton County Prison under $50,000 bail, the article states.
