The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond is navigating some difficult family news. Her 23-year-old foster son, Jamar Marquis Goff, was taken into custody in following a recent incident with law enforcement.
PEOPLE Magazine cited an original report by TMZ, which revealed that Goff was arrested and booked into Jefferson County Jail in Birmingham, Alabama, on Sept. 16. PEOPLE reported that Goff was “charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance; drug paraphernalia, use, possession, delivery, or sale; attempting to elude a police officer; and aggravated assault.”
Court documents allege that Goff possessed methamphetamine, reported PEOPLE. WBRC reported that Goff is being held on a $37,000 bond.
According to reporting by ABC 44/40, “an affidavit alleges he struck Officer K. Dabbs in the chin with an open hand while attempting to avoid arrest. Officers subsequently took Goff into custody and used pepper spray during the arrest.”

Drummond and her husband, Ladd, introduced Goff to her readers in 2020 via a blog post. She wrote, “I haven’t written or spoken publicly about him much, because for one thing, the state agency that handles fostering has strict rules against posting about foster children on social media, which I get. But mostly, and this is slightly related, I feel protective of Jamar and have always wanted his story to be his own and not fodder for my social media, which is often riddled with silly videos of my Basset hounds running toward the camera in slow motion.”
She continued, “That he came to be our foster son was entirely situational. Fostering a kid was never something Ladd and I pursued or felt called to do, but Jamar’s circumstances presented themselves to us in a way we couldn’t ignore—so, long story short, all six foot five inches of him showed up at our house one afternoon, bag in hand, ready to move in. Ladd, who had the initial idea to have Jamar live with us, had met him a couple of times during high school football practice that summer.”
Drummond added, “My boys had recently become friends with Jamar through football—he’d transferred from Tulsa a few months before.”

He’s larger than life, has a hilarious laugh, and is extremely smart—both book and street. He’s a great kid who’s overcome some difficulties in his life. I’m proud of the kid, and I can’t wait to see where life takes him.”
