John Day Police Chief Richard Gray

Police arrested a 26-year-old Prairie City man on assault and drug possession charges early Friday morning.

John Day Police Sgt. Damon Rand arrested Kristopher Goodwin on charges of fourth-degree domestic assault and possession of methamphetamine, according to a press release from John Day Police Chief Richard Gray.

Police responded to a call at about 12:30 a.m. Friday of a female being assaulted by her boyfriend on the 100 block of South Mchaley Street in Prairie City, Gray said.

The 45-year-old victim reported she had been hit by Goodwin and that he had thrown things at her, Gray said. Goodwin also called 911, he said, but hung up after giving the location of the assault.

After Rand’s investigation, Goodwin was arrested and booked in the Grant County Jail.
