MASON CITY – 23-year-old Tony Joe Jones of 411 10th Street NE in Mason City has become a familiar face to local law enforcement and jail staff since last Friday, February 24th, when he was arrested by Mason City police. Officers had responded to report of a vehicle stuck in the snow in the 100 block of 29th Street SW in Mason City. As a result Jones was transported to Cerro Gordo County Jail on one aggravated misdemeanor count of driving while barred.
Jones again found himself being booked into Cerro Gordo County Jail at 2:40am Thursday morning after a Cerro Gordo County deputy sheriff pulled him over near the intersection of Hwy 65 and 340th Street south of Manly. This time Jones was transported to Cerro Gordo County Jail for one misdemeanor of no SR-22 insurance in addition to on one aggravated misdemeanor count of driving while barred.
Hours after being released from the jail on Friday afternoon a Cerro Gordo County deputy sheriff pulled Jones over near the intersection of Kentucky Avenue South and 6th Street SE in Mason City. Jones was transported to Cerro Gordo County Jail for one misdemeanor count of no SR-22 insurance and one simple misdemeanor count of driving while suspended in addition to on one aggravated misdemeanor count of driving while barred.
A defendant convicted of an simple misdemeanor in Iowa faces a maximum of two years in prison and a $625 fine.
In addition to the fines and jail time a defendant could receive, Iowa’s Department of Transportation can sanction additional suspension periods of up to five years for each driving while barred conviction.
Jones has since been released from the Cerro Gordo County jail pending further court proceedings in the newest case.
Court records show Jones has a plea review and sentencing set for March 12th for an unrelated driving while barred charge in Cerro Gordo County from an arrest on December 18th.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
Just saw him driving around again my god maybe he will run over Beermeyer and city council
c’mon man…you get arrested for a driving offense and then get arrested for driving again, 2 more times??? Well, like they say, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink…
well hes in cerro gordo county so looks like he will get off scott free cause thats how the county attorney & judges work here & thats a fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, it seems they let the drug people and repeat OWI offenders go scott free, but if someone makes a mistake in their checkbook and ends up with a bad check or someone’s dog gets away, or even run a stop sign…they are the ones who serve the time. Kind of makes you wonder what the heck is going on up there in the clerks of courts office. This guy doesn’t look like he’s the sharpest crayon in the box, so yea, they will let him walk.
I’m gonna die? O wait he a figment of your imagination
Is there nowhere to keep oppositional, defiant offenders like this guy locked up?
You bet! We just need to build a state prison in mason city so we can cram it full of non violent offenders and that will be on the Iowa taxpayers tab. Can we count on your vote for putting it in your back yard?
Hey, he could always get a Minnesota PO Box and get a license there.
In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god. In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered. Repent ye sinners, rejoice in the lord, and accept Jesus.
Sounds like Hitler to me.
So the Buddhist, Shinto, and Hindu will all be killed? Really?
I mean come on! Three times, you just dont get the hint? Idiot!
Wonder what he’s doing at this very second. Hmmmmmm……..
