MASON CITY – A Mason City man and convicted felon is in jail on an enhanced felony charge of domestic assault.
Brady Joe Hunt, 32, was arrested following an incident on Maple Drive in Mason City. At least six Mason City police officers responded to a call about a domestic assault there at about 5:47 PM Saturday and didn’t clear the scene for about 90 minutes.
Hunt is being held on $5,000 conditional bond and has a court date set for March 1st.
Hunt had a domestic assault charge (3rd or subsequent offense) dismissed in 2009 in Grundy County but still owes $937.98 to the courts in that case. Hunt pleaded guilty, however, to felony 3rd degree burglary and was sent to prison. He still owes the courts $4,441.19 in that case.
Hunt has also been charged in the past with assault (2008), operating while under the influence (3rd offense, 2011), theft (2011 and 2012), assault with intent to inflict serious injury (1999), disorderly conduct and other crimes.
Hunt is pictured below, wearing what is called a “suicide smock.” Jailers indicated that it is used “if someone is intoxicated and make(s) comments or sometimes it is just a gut feeling by staff to be on the safe side.”
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
If he was picked up for his 3rd OWI then why isn’t he in jail? The 3rd offence means jail time most times. With his back ground he should have been put away along time ago.
Please nueter before his seed can spread
Take the vest off and let him do his thing. It will save us a lot of money. I hope they keep this POS in jail until he pays his fines or rots away.
I think this might be the same guy who was beating his GF in line at the Austin, Hy-Vee. I could be wrong. After he beat her, he went out to his car and when she tried to get in he kept pulling away. Pretty sick fellow if it’s the same guy. It’s sad that many woman are drawn to men like this.
I agree, and it’s pathetic that lots of women love guys that get rough with them or even beat them. Seems like they just can’t resist.
A lot of women (and men) who are attracted to people who abuse them have been abused by people in their homes growing up. They don’t know that is not the way to be treated. It’s sad that the message never gets through to them that they should never accept that abuse from anyone else ever. This is part of the reason why ethics and morals need to be taught in school to try to overrule what is seen and learned in the homes. Some other people in a position of power need to be telling children how people SHOULD behave.
One has to wonder how many times went unreported and how many times his kids got beat because his anger issues.
