MASON CITY – He stabbed a man in the face, and got a cot at Mason City’s busiest bed ‘n breakfast, the Beje Clark Inn. Now, he’s been convicted of dealing meth, and a judge suspended all his prison time and awarded him more probation.
The wheels of justice turned ever so slightly this month for Landon Martin, age 23 of Mason City when on July 21, 2014, Judge Gregg Rosenblast accepted a negotiated plea and gave Martin 5 years of probation for dealing methamphetamine. Martin pled guilty to one count of a felony C controlled substance violation; he had faced two counts, but one was dismissed. A ten-year prison sentence and $1,000 fine was also suspended.
Martin pled guilty on May 12, 2014 to willful injury causing bodily injury. He had stabbed a Northwood man in the face during a fight at the carnival in Clear Lake on July 6, 2013. Martin was sentenced to five years in prison (suspended), placed on five years of probation, and sent to the Beje Clark halfway house for 180 days, but is still in the Cerro Gordo County Jail awaiting bed space there.
