MASON CITY – Cops witnessed a disturbance at a convenience store, and arrested a man.
A Cerro Gordo deputy responded to a disturbance at Kum n Go, 418 South Federal Avenue on Tuesday, May 19 at about 7:28 PM. After an investigation, 27-year-old Andrew Reed Babbitt was placed under arrest on a charge of public intoxication.
Babbitt is currently also charged with aggravated misdemeanor third or subsequent offense public intoxication, after a March 20 arrest by Mason City police. He’s awaiting a jury trial in July in that case. Earlier this year, in Mitchell county, he pled guilty to that same charge. He was given a suspended 60 day jail term, a year of probation, and ordered to pay $1,153.68 in court fees. A fine was suspended.
