R.I. Guard general scheduled for arraignment today

The assistant adjutant general of the Rhode Island National Guard is scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Providence.

Brig. Gen. Brian Goodwin was charged with disorderly conduct on Sept. 4 after allegedly yelling at and threatening police officers who were interviewing his son about an assault that took place on the lawn of his North Smithfield home.

In a police report, an officer said he thought Goodwin was going to physically attack him.

Police said Goodwin became upset when they questioned his son, 18-year-old Pvt. Brian Goodwin, Jr., about apparent discrepancies in his statement about a Sept. 1 fight where the teenager’s jaw was broken.

Goodwin is scheduled to appear in District Court, Providence.
