Askildson was then arrested on the evening of April 12 when a caller reported a possibility intoxicated female in Mason City. Officers arrested Askildsen on a charge of public intoxication and she was taken to the county jail where she remained Sunday night.
Askildson was placed on 5 years of probation last year after pleading guilty to felony delivery of methamphetamine. She was supposed to be sent to the Beje Clark halfway house for 999 days or until maximum benefit. She shows a different address in Mason City. She served time in the Mount Pleasant prison for women for felony forgery in 2013 but was released after a short stay. She was accused of violating her parole terms shortly after her release from prison but has not been returned there, yet.
