<span style="font-weight: bold">dad accused of beating daughter + pointing gun @ 2 naked boys found in the apartment</span>
A Kent father is accused of beating and threatening his 17-year-old daughter and two teenage boys after finding the boys naked in his apartment.
Prosecutors say Timothy Wayne Gooden, 40, unexpectedly arrived at his apartment at 1:30 p.m. on July 11.
Not expecting her dad to come home, Gooden’s daughter had invited over her 16-year-old boyfriend and his 16-year-old friend.
As Gooden entered the apartment, he told his daughter he heard voices and demanded to know who else was there. Just then, one of the boys came out of the bathroom completely naked.
The boy told police that Gooden pulled out handgun, cocked it and pointed it at his chest, saying he “knew the gun laws and could shoot (the boy) for breaking and entering and I have every right now to blow your brains out.”
Gooden then allegedly “hit, slapped and punched” both teenagers while forcing them into a bedroom. After telling the kids to sit on a bed, Gooden blocked the exit and continued yelling and occasionally slapping or punching his daughter.
After an hour of this, Gooden allegedly noticed another set of shoes in the bedroom and realized there was probably another person in the apartment. He began screaming that he was going to shoot four bullets into every closet in the apartment, according to court documents.
Gooden searched the rest of the apartment and found the second naked teenage boy, who was hiding in bathtub.
That boy said Gooden punched him in the chest and dragged him naked into the bedroom with the others.
During the next hour, the boys said Gooden punched or slapped his daughter anywhere from 50 to 100 times, causing her face to become red and swollen.
One of the boys eventually received a text message from his dad telling the boy to come home. Gooden let that boy go, but refused to release his daughter or the other teenager. After leaving, the boy told his dad what had happened and the dad returned to Gooden’s apartment and picked up the other boy before calling the police.
During an initial police interview, Gooden admitted to yelling and slapping his daughter on the shoulder, but said he never pointed a gun at anyone. Gooden does have a concealed weapons permit and admitted to having a pistol on him at the time, but he told police he put the gun in a dresser drawer.
Gooden is facing one count of second degree assault and one count of fourth degree domestic violence assault.
His arraignment is set for August 16 in Kent.
