A family argument Tuesday morning that started out between twin brothers — one armed with a frying pan — wound up with one brother being arrested for domestic violence assault while their mother was arrested for interfering with the investigation, deputies said.
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a Palm Coast home on Liedel Drive around 11:18 a.m. after area residents reported shots fired. Witnesses said the Goggans brothers, Franklin and Daniel, both 27, had been arguing outside on the lawn at 65 Liedel Drive. Franklin Goggans said his brother walked out of the house and approached him with a frying pan.
Franklin advised Daniel that he needed to “stop pulling weapons on me,” according to deputies.
Franklin said as he sat in his truck, his brother climbed onto the hood and was tapping the windshield with the frying pan. Daniel got off the vehicle and retrieved a machete. He
then approached Franklin and threatened to “cut him up,” according to a Sheriff’s Office press release. Franklin, who had gotten out of the truck, went back to the vehicle to leave but discovered the keys were not in the ignition.
He then retrieved his firearm from the vehicle and pointed it in Daniel’s direction, but at the ground, firing two rounds, deputies said. Franklin ordered Daniel to stay away from him, and then Franklin left the scene. He later told deputies he thought he might have shot his brother in the foot.
Deputies said Daniel appeared to have an injury to his foot, but he declined to tell deputies how it was injured.
Daniel Goggans was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility with no bond on the charge of domestic violence assault.
While deputies were on the scene, the brother’s mother, Lajuana Goggans, 55, denied any shots were fired and interfered with the investigation. Deputies arrested her for filing a false report to law enforcement. She was being booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility Tuesday evening.
