Accusations of driving under the influence
According to divorce filings and text messages handed over to the Seattle Times from Goodman's ex-wife, Roger Goodman drove their two young children while under the influence of marijuana.[14][15] Goodman has denied the claims.[16] The claims made by Goodman's ex-wife became a point of political ads run against the state representative during his campaign for re-election in 2014.[17]
