Jonathan Goodburn Faces Long List Of Charges
Jonathan Goodburn, 20, faces numerous charges after being clocked going 158 mph and leading police on a high-speed chase on his motorcycle. Now Goodburn and his family regret his split-second decision.
Nebraska State Patrol troopers spotted Goodburn with a group of about 20 other motorcyclists driving at a high rate of speed near 156th Street and West Dodge Road Saturday night. Authorities eventually arrested him along Highway 36 near Cunningham Lake.
Goodburn's mother, Chris Goodburn, admits her son made a major mistake by taking off and not stopping for police.
"Once he got in far enough that he was already running, he was trying to figure out when he should stop," she said.
Capt. Bret Friesz with the Nebraska State Patrol said the chase lasted 24 minutes and traveled 32 miles. Goodburn was clocked at 158 mph at one point.
"It was probably a one-minute bad decision that drug out over 24 minutes," said Friesz.
Goodburn called his mother from jail while KETV NewsWatch 7 was interviewing her Monday.
"He says he's sorry that he put other people's lives in danger," said Chris Goodburn.
She said the split-second decision cost her son his job. He was expected to be in court on Tuesday.
Goodburn told his mother that he's learned his lesson.
