He Ambushed a Toledo Officer After a 100-MPH Chase — Now He’s Got 39 Years
Henry Goodlow, 37, was sentenced Friday morning to 39 years in prison for ambushing a Toledo police officer who pursued him on foot after a 100-mph car chase, firing six shots at the officer.
Goodlow pleaded no contest on Oct. 20 to eight felonies, including six counts of felonious assault, along with a seven-year firearm specification and a repeat-violent-offender specification. Prosecutors said he faced 94 to 99½ years in prison. Judge Dean P. Mandros imposed the 39-year sentence Friday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
The sentencing was the outcome of a hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday in Courtroom 7, case CR2026-00184 — the case ToledoBuzz previewed this morning, when the sentence was still to come.
