Man Accused of Hit-And-Run In Searcy
Daniel Obrien Goodman, 36, is accused of aggravated assault and failure to stop after an accident that caused physical injury, according to court records filed in July.
According to the police report:
“On May 3, 2026, at approximately 12:30 PM, Randy Taylor was at the intersection of Holmes Road and Highway 13 near Searcy, Arkansas. Taylor was standing in the roadway near his motorcycle and was involved in an altercation with a subject, later identified as Daniel Goodman, who was driving a 2000 Buick Le Sabre displaying Arkansas License Plate.”
The report goes on:
“Evidence from the incident indicates Goodman reversed his vehicle and intentionally struck Taylor, who was standing in the roadway behind Goodman’s vehicle. Goodman engaged in conduct that created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury by striking Taylor with his vehicle. Taylor, who was knocked to the ground by Goodman’s vehicle, was transported to Unity Health in Searcy, Arkansas to be treated for his injuries. Goodman fled the scene in his vehicle before law enforcement arrived. It is reasonable to believe that Goodman knew Taylor had been struck by his vehicle during this incident and that Taylor had likely been injured.”
The charges allege that on May 3, Goodman was involved in an altercation with someone at the intersection of Holmes Road and Highway 13.
Goodman, driving a 2000 Buick LeSabre, reportedly reversed and struck Taylor, who was standing in the roadway behind the vehicle, an affidavit states.
Taylor was allegedly knocked to the ground and taken to Unity Health in Searcy for treatment of his injuries.
Goodman reportedly left the scene before deputies arrived.
