A former Union

City police officer accused of brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend at

her Fayette home was granted $150,000 bond in court Friday morning.

Samuel Howard

Goodall of Union City is charged with two counts of aggravated assault,

kidnapping with bodily injury and aggravated sexual battery. He has been

in jail since he was originally arrested.

Det. Tracey

Carroll of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department testified at Friday's

bond hearing that after the July 31 assault, Goodall admitted to his then-girlfriend

that he roughed up the victim. She said the victim also had what appeared

to be strangulation marks around her neck.

"She had

very serious lacerations to her head," Carroll said.

Goodall testified

at his bond hearing that the victim attacked him during the incident.

He also denied that he pointed his police-issue revolver at the victim.

"She jumped

on me," Goodall said in a hushed tone.

Goodall told

Superior Court Judge Johnnie L. Caldwell Jr. that he would stay away from

the victim and he would return to court to face the charges.

Chief Assistant

District Attorney Dan Hiatt asked Caldwell to deny bond on the case, noting

that at the time of his arrest Goodall was a police officer with Union

City.

After his arrest,

Goodall was fired from the department, officials said.

At a court

hearing earlier this year, Maj. Bruce Jordan of the Sheriff's Department

testified that one of the marks on the victim's face matched up to a ring

Goodall wore at the time of the incident. He also said Goodall previously

accused the victim of having relationships with other men.

The couple,

who once lived together, had broken off the relationship for several months

prior to the assault, Carroll said.
