On Wednesday, October 2nd, a Chattooga County officer traveled to West Spring Creek Road in reference to a domestic dispute.

The complainant told the officer that her former boyfriend of four years, Jeffrey Goins, had come to the home and parked his truck in the back yard. The woman told the officer that the home belongs to Mr. Goins' sister, but that she was signing a lease for the home herself.

The woman asked her boyfriend what he was doing since he had been gone for several days. All he replied with was a request for a cigarette. When she asked Mr. Goins if he wanted anything to eat, he told her that she would not be as nice once she knew what he had done. He told her that she did not have any more clothes inside the house, but would not explain what he did with the clothes. He left immediately after the conversation.

The woman went into the house to see that there were several bags missing that were full of clothes that belonged to her, Mr. Goins, and their children's clothes. She suspected that Mr. Goins had burned them, since they have a designated area for burning items.

Mr. Goins returned to the home while the officer was present, and when asked why he burned his own clothes and their children's, he said that he did not look inside the bags but just burned them.

Mr. Goins was arrested for Criminal Trespass and taken to the Chattooga County Jail.
