Kansas City business owner resilient after eighth break-in
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Security camera footage from Friday morning shows the front door of Ruby Jean's Kitchen and Juicery being smashed in, as would-be thieves unlocked the door and let themselves in. 'It was an all too familiar call,' said Ruby Jean's owner, Chris Goode, about learning of the break-in. 'A call that I've gotten many times before.' Goode says this is the , they were able to catch the door smashing on their security cameras. Goode described it as 'a couple of people taking a hammer and just having way too much time to hammer through security film, through glass, reach their hand through, and unlock the door.' Despite the frustrating circumstances, Goode said he's focusing on the positives of the situation. 'Yes, it's infuriating, but it's no, there's no progress in that pain,' Goode said. 'There's no progress in being pissed.' He says it's all a part of being an entrepreneur. 'You've got to be able to accept the lows as much as you celebrate the highs, you have no choice in entrepreneurship,' he said. 'Because we know we don't have crystal balls, you know, we don't have long runways of funding. We don't have just endless copious amounts of customers all the time. But it's a faith walk.' He's encouraging other entrepreneurs, enduring the faith walk, to push forward. He said it's because he knows you reap what you sow. 'The investment they made that night into their time to break into this door, that's coming back to them,' Goode said. 'How we invest of ourselves no matter what, whether it's good or bad, that's a deposit. And there there's going to be a return for that.' Even though it's his eighth break-in, Goode says there's nothing government or law enforcement can do to address the issue. He says it's a community issue that requires a community-focused solution. 'I would bet that there's more opportunity on the other side of community and of shaking people's hand and of telling people about your struggles and your circumstance than there is coming into a juice bar at 4 a.m. in the morning,' Goode said. He said the community that surrounds his business never fails to pick him up when he struggles, and he hopes that it catches on. 'Every single time [there's a break-in] there's a flood of comments, a flood of support. We had a line to the door that day,' he added. As Ruby Jean's gets ready to celebrate 10 years in business, Goode said they aren't going anywhere. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV 'I've been rooted here. I and my team, we're not running. We're only going to dig deeper trenches here and figure out ways to be a part of healing,' he said. FOX4 reached out to the Kansas City Police Department for their report on the incident, but we did not hear back in time for the deadline for this story. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — FOX4 spoke with a woman who said she's worried that a former metro firefighter will avoid punishment after she said he sexually assaulted her as a child. FOX4 has agreed to protect her identity. Independence police chief on leave, fires back at 'baseless rumors' in FOX4 interview The former metro firefighter, who has been hailed a hero, is charged with criminal sodomy. There was a hearing for him Thursday in Johnson County, but not much happened. The unidentified woman said she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Trevor Miller. The City of Overland Park and the Overland Park Fire Department (OPFD) are aware of an investigation into a former OPFD employee. 'As soon as the city became aware of the allegations, the former employee was placed on administrative leave,' a spokesperson with the OPFD told FOX4. 'Within a week of being placed on leave, the employee submitted his intention to retire immediately. 'He is no longer an employee of the city or the fire department. The city and Fire department are fully cooperating with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office investigation.' Miller was employed with the city from 1990 to 2023. 'He should be held more accountable for what he's done,' she said. 'For me, personally, growing up, I looked to him as a hero. He's a firefighter for the city. He saves lives.' Miller has been charged with one count of criminal sodomy, from an incident that happened when she was 14. The charge was filed in 2024. 'I knew Trevor growing up as my mother's friend. I saw him occasionally,' she told FOX4. The incident, which occurred in 2012, was reported to law enforcement in October of 2023. At that time, she said Miller was an adult she thought she could confide in. 'In the summer of 2012, I ended up meeting up with him,' she said. 'He took me out to look at Harleys. He taught me how to pump my gas, and he took me to his house and did inappropriate things to me and took me home.' She said she's worried that Miller may get offered a plea agreement – instead of being held accountable for what he's done. Miller has pleaded not guilty to the charge. The case was continued Thursday. The City of Overland Park's website still highlights his efforts to bring a 9/11 memorial to town. 'I don't think he is someone to be looked to as a respectable, trusted member of the community,' she said. 'People should know he's a monster.' Court documents also show that Miller was involved with the 'Camp Inferno' program, which introduced girls to firefighting—and 'he had to be reminded he wasn't there for socializing.' Records show he exchanged information with campers. 'I would definitely say there was grooming. I would definitely say there was sexual abuse,' she said. 'I do encourage people to come forward, but I definitely understand why many don't.' She told FOX4 that she remained silent until 2023, but was driven by two factors to speak out: Having a child of her own The birth of Miller's daughter FOX4 made several attempts to contact Miller's attorney by phone and email; neither inquiry was returned. FOX4 also reached out to the Johnson County District Attorney, who did not comment on the case. Miller has another hearing scheduled for mid-July. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
