Tamieka Goode’s sudden release from Montgomery County jail and near-immediate return to the $2.3 million Bethesda mansion has reignited a new saga. Already, it has had neighbors on edge for nearly a year. After being convicted of trespassing and fourth-degree burglary, Goode was expected to serve a 90-day sentence.
