MASON CITY – A man was taken to jail Friday in Mason City after he allegedly committed an armed robbery of a cell phone from another person.
According to information relayed to NIT, the alleged crime was committed on the afternoon of Friday, December 1. At about 1:29 PM, police were called to investigate an armed robbery at 203 15th Street NE in Mason City. Mason City police and Cerro Gordo county deputies responded to the scene, where an investigation then took place.
Allegedly, a male victim ran into the Family Dollar store on North Federal Avenue to use the phone. He claimed to have been robbed of his cell phone and some other things, while a knife was held to his neck, said a witness that was there at the time.
Soon thereafter, a suspect, 28-year-old Zachary Michael Russell, was located at 1605 N. Pennsylvania Avenue and questioned. Police were talking to witnesses and walking around the house to try and find what was stolen. Russell was soon arrested, handcuffed and taken to jail on a charge of felony first degree robbery.
It was said later that the phone was a US Cellular flip phone.
Another source who lives nearby to the crime scene tells NIT that “people are in and out of that house at all hours of night… it probably stinks in there because they have had dogs in there for the past year.”
Here we go, just like in Chitcago an d Deadtroit. Te
hey bring their crime with them.
Thats why I carry my equalizer at all times – as a veteran it would be human instinct to use it with no remorse while protecting my person. Your mistake would be to mistake this.
Blast ’em with my blessings. Yowsuh! I dindu nuffin.
And the spiral of crime increases as petty criminals take to the streets of River City in search of victims. Love ’em or hating ’em the strong arm of law brings order as most people realize there is too much dim witted thuggery going on.
cops and robbers
I really cant believe a black man would do this, probably needed to call in his drug order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, a flip phone. Idiot
Sheriff’s Deputies are making most of the arrests in the city of Mason City! See a problem here?? Step up your game MCPD earn your tax dollar!
So, now this type of crime is starting here. Just like Chitcago.
So, does dyeing your hair some messed up version of red before you rob someone make you “blend”? Lol
