Man arrested after two escape attempts

Police arrested a Madison man Friday afternoon, whom they said may be connected with several business burglaries over the last two years.

Mark D. Goad, 47, was arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest and a probation violation, according to the police report.

Goad attempted to get away from police twice, Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.

First, Goad tried to jump from a second-story window at the America's Best Value Inn where police apprehended him, according to the report.

Police then took Goad to the hospital for medical clearance after he fought with them,  where he attempted to escape again, DeSpain said.

An MPD sergeant needed stitches in his hand after he was cut by shattered glass at the first incident, and an MPD officer sustained a knee injury while Goad tried to run from the hospital, according to DeSpain.
