Kansas City Man Sentenced to Ten Years for Disturbing Crime
Kansas City, Mo. – A wild and alarming incident has resulted in a Kansas City man facing serious consequences for his actions. Jonathan Good, 33, will now spend the next decade behind bars after a series of crimes that left his ex-girlfriend terrified and put many lives at risk. On **September 25th**, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri announced Good’s sentencing, which amounts to a hefty ten years in federal prison with no chance for parole. That’s as tough as it gets!
A Disturbing Night in July 2020
The troubling events unfolded on the night of **July 29, 2020**. According to court documents, there was an argument when Good showed up at his ex-girlfriend’s home, clearly under the influence. He didn’t just arrive; he arrived with a Taurus 9mm handgun in his possession, which he was waving around as he shouted at her from the porch. It’s hard to imagine how frightening that must have been!
As the clock struck **11:25 p.m.**, the Kansas City Police Department received a call about the disturbance. When the victim asked Good to leave, things escalated quickly. Out of frustration or perhaps anger, Good fired a gunshot from her porch. This wasn’t just a regular argument; it had turned into a life-threatening situation.
A Dangerous Chase
After that shocking turn of events, the ex-girlfriend didn’t back down; she followed him to his vehicle. But things went from bad to worse when Good pointed the gun directly at her head, threatening to kill her. Every horror movie you’ve ever seen seems tame compared to real life for her that night. They took off in a **silver Ford Mustang** just as the police were beginning to arrive on the scene.
Time was ticking, and by **11:45 p.m.**, when Good spotted a police vehicle parked outside, he panicked. He veered into reverse and quickly tried to flee. This led to a high-speed chase through residential streets, with officers following him at alarming speeds of up to **60 mph**!
As if that wasn’t enough, Good ran straight through a stop sign, lost control and crashed into the sidewalk, spinning out and colliding with three parked cars before finally stopping. You can only imagine how chaotic that scene was.
Aftermath and Arrest
After the crash, he was taken into custody and needed medical care, which led him to a nearby hospital. However, even in the hospital, it seemed trouble wasn’t far from him. Medical staff soon discovered that Good had three live rounds of 9mm ammunition tucked away as he was being treated. What a surprise for the medical personnel!
The following day, law enforcement searched his home and made another shocking find: a loaded Taurus 9mm pistol hidden in an old charcoal grill that was sitting out in his front yard. That discovery left no doubt about his illegal possession of the firearm.
A Long History of Trouble
This wasn’t Good’s first brush with the law. He had a troubling past with **four prior convictions** for domestic assault and two for **felony unlawful use of a weapon**. In addition, there were convictions for armed criminal action, violating a protection order, and even stealing livestock. It seems like this man had quite a record that caught up with him.
The takeaway? It’s a stark reminder of how quickly **everyday life** can turn dangerous and how important it is to stay safe. For Jonathan Good, it’s ten years behind bars to think about those choices he made that night. And for the community, it’s a relief to know justice is served.
