 Big Rapids MI - On Wednesday November 26, 2008, Jonathan Joseph Good of Lansing who was staying in the Mecosta County Jail awaiting trial for over 30 felony counts that include attempted murder and armed robbery, broke out of his jail cell through a fiberglass skylight and jumped off the jail houses 10 foot high roof as jail attendants yelled stop! stop!, Jonathan Good kept on going wearing nothing but underwear, rubber shoes and a white tee-shirt.

 Jonathan ran about two blocks when he decided to stop and rest at an unlocked college frat house called the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity located at 116 North Stewart Ave., about a three minute walk from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Department which is located at 225 South Stewart Ave. and is connected to the jail where Good was staying.

 Because the college students were gone for Thanksgiving break, this made a perfect weekend hide out for Jonathan J. Good who was now being hunted by the Mecosta County Sheriff's Department , The Big Rapids Department of Public Safety and the Michigan State police. Using helicopters and tracking dogs the police searched vigorously for the convicted murderer as they went door to door and handed out flyer's and warned people that Jonathan good had escaped from jail.

 On early Sunday morning after laying around for three days, watching TV and peeping out the upstairs window to see if Sheriff Deputies were on to him, Good then decided to rummage though the college student's personal belongings, taking clothing and other things, Jonathan Good then decided to take one of the student's bicycles and take a ride a few miles north of Big Rapids to steal a 1997 maroon Dodge Intrepid so he could drive down to Taylor Michigan to visit his aunt and brother, but first making a stop in Clinton County to visit a woman along the way.

 Jonathan Good was just a few miles from Taylor when he was stopped by the Romulus Police Department. Jonathan laid on the ground spread eagle as he was being arrested said Sheriff John Sonntag in a news interview, Sonntag also told the news media that the faulty skylights in the jail cells would be replaced with some kind of tubing of some sort.
