HARRISONVILLE, Mo. – A 78-year-old woman charged with robbing a Pleasant Hill bank earlier this year appeared in Cass County court Wednesday.
Bonnie Gooch has remained in jail since her arrest on April 5.

According to court records, all parties agreed to reduce her bond and she will be released from jail Thursday morning with special conditions. The special conditions include no consumption of alcohol, no entry into any financial institutions and not coming within 500 feet of any Goppert Bank location.
Gooch waived her right to a preliminary hearing with a formal arraignment set for July 24, 2023.
According to court documents, just after 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, Pleasant Hill police officers responded to a reported robbery in progress at Goppert Bank off 7 Highway.
When en-route, officers were informed the suspect vehicle had left the bank where it was later located and officers stopped the suspect, Bonnie Gooch, who surrendered to police.
Court documents say Gooch was, “observed to be heavily intoxicated and to have a strong odor of an intoxicating beverage emitting from her person.”
An officer could see a large amount of cash in small bills in plain view on the floor board, and a note with hand writing on it as well as two plastic gloves and a black N95 mask on the passenger seat.
A bank teller told police Gooch came into the bank and passed a note to her from the counter, saying the incident occurring was a robbery and was requesting $13,000, court documents say.

After a search warrant was obtained for the suspect vehicle, the note was obtained which said: “Is is a robbery I need 13,000 small bills no! dye pack! 5@10$bills no uppotton thank you sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” (sic).
Following an interview with FBI agents, Gooch said she did not remember anything that occurred, according to court documents.
Court documents say the FBI was not going to be charging Gooch on a federal level and turned the case over to local law enforcement.
Gooch was also arrested on Feb. 5, 2020 for a bank robbery in Lee’s Summit.
In the 2020 robbery, Gooch was charged with stealing and convicted, but her sentence was suspended and she was ordered to have supervised probation, which expired in November 2021.
Court documents show that when the 75-year-old Gooch robbed the Bank of the West in Lee’s Summit, her son called authorities and said that his mother was, “off her rocker and left the house angry, saying she was going to rob a bank.”
According to the 2020 criminal complaint, she was convicted of bank robbery in California in 1977.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.
Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.
Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.
Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.
Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial
Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.
A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.
The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
