CORRECTED (Jared Kropf faces only one count of willful injury, not two)
On Tuesday, May 8th, Senior Judge Paul Riffel approved an application to amend class “C” felony charges of willful injury causing serious injury to lesser class “D” felony charges.
The court records only address one of the two charges of willful injury causing serious injury Brandon Kropf faces in the case. It is unclear at this time whether the 2nd charge against Brandon Kropf will stand, be amended, or dismissed as part of the negotiated plea agreement.
Jared Kropf ‘s single class “C” felony charge of willful injury causing serious injury, was also approved in the application to amend to a lesser class “D” felony charge.
Sentencing in the cases has been set for June 26th at 10am in Cerro Gordo County District Court. At sentencing both men now face no more than 5 years in prison for the assaults against two men which caused one of the victims to be seriously injured requiring intensive care at St Mary’s in Rochester after allegedly using bats and crowbars on April 3rd, 2011.
The original class “C” felony charges of willful injury causing serious injury originally filed could have carried up to 10 years in prison under Iowa Code.
Jared Kropf is still awaiting a trial June 12th in an aggravated misdemeanor count of concealing a knife used in a crime alleged to of occurred on July 1st, 2011.

They need to be in jail…and take their worthless mother with ’em!
I can’t believe the crap that this town puts up with!! If every single one of us that are pissed about this would write a letter to the DA, judge, govenor, whoever, anyone..would take 5 minutes out to write to someone maybe we could do something! I have written several letters but it takes more!!! Just like these little punks, they got it right, it took an army to take down Jay and Tony, so why don’t we get an army and do it the “right way?” There is no reason why these two little punks should not be in jail! Is it not Iowa law that use of a weapon is attempted murder?? My god, Jay just got released a couple months ago, and yet these two and the others involved are allowed to run around and do more damage??? The DA and Judge are too fricking lazy to deal with it!
Son’s follow loser father they will never learn.
You have GOT to be f*#king kidding me! WTF?!?!
nothing but PUNKS !!!!!!!
I think that is the point the can now get no more then 5 when they had faced 20. How do you give somebody a plea bargain that picked up a charge involving a knife just two months after this incident.
Those boys will find out they are not a tough as they like to think they are when they get in the big house. No ball bats or crowbars in there.
chances are- since its iowa- the charges will prbably end up being dismissed and nothing will ever happen to them.
Stupid low life losers. They are still out beating on people. They deserve 10 years.
Is anyone tracking how many plea deals are made on violent crimes?
These plea bargains all have one common denominator…..The County Attorney’s Office.
If I doctor, accountant, or lawyer’s work showed such incompetence they would be held accountable on the grounds of negligence. This is exactly what the County Attorney’s Office is doing being negligent in keeping the public safe from these career criminals.
