GOLDSBORO, N.C. — A 20-year-old Goldsboro man is facing multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder, after police say he intentionally rammed a woman’s vehicle during a domestic-related incident Tuesday night.
According to the Goldsboro Police Department, officers responded to the 1200 block of U.S. 70 West at approximately 10:42 p.m. on June 16 in reference to a traffic crash involving injuries.

- First-Degree Attempted Murder
