A late-night fight at a New Hampshire diner has led to an assault charge against a former police officer and arrest warrants for two others
, authorities said. The victim claimed it was a racist attack but the officer has denied that, according to a news outlet. Aaron Goodwin, 45, of Eliot, Maine, turned himself in on Friday, the New Hampshire State Police said in a news release. Seacoastonline quotes him as saying in a prepared statement that the incident was not racially motivated and that he was acting in defense of his sister-in-law. The charges stem from a confrontation at a diner in Portsmouth on the night of Nov.
Goodwin told Seacoastonline that the victim pursued his sister-in-law “and I perceived him as a threat after he put his tray of food on the ground and got in her face.” “I pulled him away from her,' he said. ”There was nothing more. The entire incident is on surveillance. After a four month long investigation I’m not being charged with anything race related.” Arrest warrants also have been issued for Kevin Goodwin, 42, and Shannon Goodwin, 37 of Dundalk, Maryland.
