According to an Adair County report, at approximately 2:12 a.m. Feb. 12 a male entered a gas station in Stuart and told someone in the store to report a domestic disturbance at a residence on Stuart Road to police.
Deputies responded to the residence and spoke with the male outside who said he, Goll and a female had been drinking when Goll got offended by a comment the female made. Goll threw a bottle at the television, ripped it off the wall and threw it, began screaming and became violent. Goll yelled at the female and made threatening comments, causing the female to have a panic attack. The male told Gall he was calling the police and Goll hit him multiple times with a wooden chair.
The female remained in the living room on the floor and the male attempted to leave the residence. Goll went to the kitchen, got two knives and said he would kill the male for being a snitch while making jabbing motions close to him.
The male ran for the back door and Goll followed with the knives in-hand but tripped and fell. The male then opened the back door and struck Goll in the head with it several times to keep him on the ground. The male, who did not have a cell phone, drove to Stuart and reported the incident. When he returned to the residence, the female and Goll were gone.
At approximately 5 a.m. the female returned in Goll’s vehicle. She was visibly distraught and had difficulty forming sentences. She said she had dropped Goll off in Ankeny and a gun was on the floorboard of the car, which deputies secured.
The female described the same sequence of events and added after the male left, Goll continued to threaten her and throw items around the house. Goll grabbed a tire iron or hammer and demanded the female find his car keys and give him her pistol and loaded magazine. The female feared he would hurt her if she did not comply.
Goll became increasingly angry the male had left to report the incident and said he would kill her or himself if the police showed up. At one point, Goll pointed the loaded pistol directly at the female. While the female searched for his keys, Goll fired two to three rounds inside the home.
Once she found his keys, Goll, gun in hand, demanded she drive him to Ankeny.
Goll is a convicted felon and an active protection order is in place in Adair County between he and the female.
Goll was transported to the Adair County Jail and held on $30,000 cash only bond.
