WILKES-BARRE — Two people were arrested after shots were fired during a landlord-tenant dispute, city police said.

An investigation of a report of shots being fired in the area of 113 Blackman St. early Friday afternoon revealed that the incident stemmed from an argument at 64 Bradford St., which is located nearby.

Police said Tanisha Goggins, 30, of 64 Bradford St., and her guest, Nicholas Crooks, 27, of Brooklyn, New York, had been involved in a dispute with Goggins’s property manager, and that Crooks allegedly pointed a gun at the property manager.

The property manager fled in his vehicle, and Crooks allegedly got into a vehicle, gave chase and fired several shots at the victim, police said.

Officers found two shell casings on Blackman Street.

Officers contacted Goggins at her residence and discovered she had an active warrant for her arrest. She was taken into custody.

Police said they executed a search warrant on the Bradford Street address and found illegal drugs in multiple types of packaging. Goggins was subsequently charged for new drug-related offenses.

Crooks was charged with aggravated assault in connection with the shooting, police said.
