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.

what a piece of crap. How do they keep letting this shit out of jail??? Man I wish these laws were this relaxed when I was young and dumb. What a waste of our tax $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, Im an old ornery SOB and I say let these bums rot in jail!!!
What a winner this guy is. Just turn him loose again. Maybe next time it will be someone in your family he attacks or sell meth to.
LVS-You are so correct! I know this kid personally and he will not learn his lesson by being put on probation. He thinks he has beat the system because all he got was probation.
@IowaViking-Thank you. You see my belief is that once they get off with a slap on their hands they believe they can get away with anything and they will keep on going until some innocent person get hurt or killed. Then it is to late.
