CONCORD, N.H. — A white former New Hampshire police officer has been accused of race-motivated assault against a Black bank executive outside of a diner on Thanksgiving Eve 2023, according to a civil rights complaint filed by the state attorney general’s office.
Goodwin pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor simple assault charge last month following the encounter with the man, identified as “M.D.” by the attorney general’s office, and received a suspended sentence. The man came forward last November and identified himself as Mamadou Dembele. Goodwin, of Eliot, Maine, and his relatives, of Maryland, first encountered Dembele inside the diner, where they were all waiting to pick up food.
Goodwin and his relatives eventually left. When Dembele left, he encountered the three in the parking lot, at which point the brother, Kevin Goodwin, told him to leave. Dembele asked Kevin Goodwin what his problem was, and that led to a confrontation. At some point, Aaron Goodwin pulled Dembele down to the ground, the complaint said.
Kevin Goodwin pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct violation in August and paid a fine of over $600; prosecutors dropped a simple assault charge against him. Shannon Goodwin’s case remains open. State police issued a warrant for her earlier this year on three misdemeanor counts of simple assault and a disorderly conduct violation.
Durkin said Aaron Goodwin has not been served yet with the lawsuit or the attorney general office’s complaint.
