MASON CITY – Two women were engaged in a parking lot struggle Monday evening, leading to an intervention by police and a felony robbery charge for one of the combatants.
Mason City police tell NIT that Monday night, January 30 at 5:10 PM, an MCPD officer observed two females in some type of physical altercation in the Yes Way parking lot, located at 1303 4th Street SW. The officer and other officers responded. Both females were separated.
It appears that Heather Adams, age 26 of Mason City, confronted a known female about some type of ongoing or prior disagreement.
