Man arrested in North End shooting calls into court
MASON CITY – On Friday, June 15th, 21-year-old Kenneth Donjuan Alfonzo May was supposed to appear at the Cerro Cordo County Court House for court at 3pm on a Class C felony charge of intimidation with a dangerous weapon with intent to injure or provoke fear and an aggravated misdemeanor count of carrying weapons. The charges stem from a shooting incident in the parking lot of Northside Liquor in which Kenneth allegedly shot at and hit an occupied vehicle during a dispute on June 6th.
According to court records instead of appearing to the court preceding that had been scheduled for June 15th when he posted a $10,000 bond following his arrest, May instead called the clerk of court “asking for a continuance”. No new court date has been entered according to court records online and Kenneth May remains on the streets.
Kenneth May, then listed as a Detroit resident, was also convicted in a Mason City shooting that occurred on March 9th 2009. In that incident he was originally charged with a Class C felony count of intimidation dangerous weapon, a Class C felony count of willful injury and an aggravated misdemeanor count carrying weapons after shooting then 23-year-old Geno Ward in the hand during an altercation at 1019 N. Rhode Island Ave.
Facing the possibility of 22 years in prison, Kenneth May entered a voluntary plea of guilty to the misdemeanor charge and both felony charges were dismissed by Judge James Drew. On December 14th, 2009 he was sentenced to serve two years in prison, but was released by the Iowa Department of Corrections on July 12th, 2009 after serving only 8 months in prison for the shooting another man.
Court records also show Kenneth May is awaiting a trial scheduled for July 11th in Winnebago County on a serious misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance charge originating from a criminal complaint by the Iowa State Patrol for an incident on March 18th.
Court records also show Kenneth May is awaiting a trial scheduled for July 24th in Cerro Gordo County on a serious misdemeanor count of domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury, and a serious misdemeanor count of assault causing bodily injury following an April 29th incident in Mason City.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

WHY DO THE JUDGES LET THESE POS LOW LIVES OUT? WAS THIS A CASH ONLY BOND OR 10%? WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTY CITY AND STATE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO ENSURE WE CAN KEEP THIS KIND OF CRAP OUT. I ALWAYS THOUGHT JUDGE DREW WAS A STAND UP GUY BUT NOW I WONDER. WILL HE HAVE TO KILL SOMEBODY FOR THE COURTS TO REALIZE THEY MADE THE WRONG MOVE?

Called in absent in his OWI trial. Owes nearly $18k to the courts (but bonds have all been refunded). Had to be extradited for a previous court case from Detroit.
I find it to believe that given past performances, he was not treated as a flight risk. Bench warrant, no bail.

Really? Mason City needs to crack down on the ones obviously not wanting to change. 2nd time he shot someone, come on judges, you do realize you have to live in the community with these fools you are releasing? How can the rest of us feel safe just knowing who is able to be released?
Seriously?

James Drew used to live in Hampton. No idea if he still does or not. Perhaps he’s counting on the police there to keep HIM safe?

Why remove the judge for releasing him?? At that time he had no prior convictions and the man he shot failed to show up to testify against him so the judge had no choice but to drop the felonies…. But its apparent he has no desire to change and i believe mason city has had enough of the violence…. I’m pretty sure he will not be walking away from this one…

So why not do anything when he fails to appear at court to answer to his latest felony charges?

You’re telling me this POS is still on the street. His first bond should have been revoked upon the second set of charges. 3 different court cases waiting trial?Why he was bonded for this 3rd offense? The judge needs to be questioned on to the reasons for release.

All this town is worried about is money. This black ass punk had his drug dealing detroit homies round up some extra crack cash and bail his ass out. Seems the court these days dont care where the money comes from, long as it keeps coming. When they do finally catch him he’ll be out in a year. Probably less. What am I talking about, he’ll just get Beje clark. That way he can just escape and shoot at more people. Thats why half of detroit lives here, they know the court system here wont do anything to them.
