(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- A Cedar Rapids woman's been sentenced to three years in federal prison for buying guns for her boyfriend, a convicted felon. Investigators say 42-year-old Lisa Good bought at least five guns in the Cedar Rapids area in 2020 and 2021, and lied about who the guns were actually for. Good's boyfriend was prohibited from having guns. Officers searched Good's residence and found a firearm, more than 90-ecstasy pills, cash, and a digital scale. Good admitted she used and sold the pills. Two other guns have not yet been found.
Good pleaded guilty to making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm.
Good was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Good was sentenced to 34 months’ imprisonment. She must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. Good will have to pay $100 to the special assessment fund.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ashley Corkery and investigated by the Cedar Rapids Police Department, Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
