Joliet Patch's last crime story about Goode appeared on March 2, 2021.
The article was headlined, "Louis Goode: Violent Domestic Abuser Sentenced."
At that time, the 35-year-old Goode was sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the felony crime of aggravated domestic battery. In his 2018 crime, Goode threw his estranged wife out of his Jeep, and hit her in the face several times before leaving her on the side of the road near Coal City.
Prior to his latest violence conviction, Goode stuffed the same victim into the trunk of his vehicle around 2014.
