MASON CITY – Reports are coming in of multiple arrests today in the East Park area.
One source reported that up to 9 juveniles have been arrested Saturday. That number has not yet been confirmed.
Friday night I was in the park chatting with 2 officers and more than once kids that seemed to be about 13 to 15 years old were mocking officers as they had their backs turned. One young man snuck up behind an officer and attempted to tap him on the shoulder and then ran away as his friends laughed. Others made faces and got real close to the officers without them knowing.
Also today there was a fight along the parade route which officers quickly put a stop to. An arrest was made in that incident. Zachary James Brunning (pictured, below), 19, of Mason City was arrested for disorderly conduct. He plead guilty.
There was another fight later in the day, which appeared to take place closer to the amusement rides, possibly involving multiple persons; one reader said four people were arrested. You can see a very short video of that incident here.
A source is now telling NIT that the police took a “long line” of what appeared to be teens to the MCPD headquarters for questioning in this incident.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the Globe won’t let comments be made on this story. way to go Globe, keep protecting the Foster family. I personally think it’s time for Lionel to step down from his position with the city. His family is an embarassment and it’s ridiculous how everytime one of them gets into trouble nothing happens to them. Guaranteed if it was just some white kid that’s not related to him, they would have to endure stiffer punishment.
I’ll tell ya where FUNI was…out getting more money for their “charity”. They are focused on fund raising and making a fb page.
They could be gathering info to post on their site of places that need volunteers…like shelters, hospitals, senior citizan centers or facilities. Im sure there are support groups for abuse victims or ppl with addictions that run free childcare or would if they had volunteers. But nope they only care about money.
FUNI is a joke and so are the so called administrators.
Just saw an update on the Glob, and yep, of course two of the people arrested were part of the Foster clan. Does that surprise anyone?
Thanks Anonymous, i just saw the same thing…Ya, SHOCKER!
So grandpa Lionel will be right there crying racile profiling….as always. They need to make an example out of these 6 kids, throw the book at them with the toughest punishment, send their butts to Waterloo to the juvenile detention center and let the citizens in Mason City know that it won’t be tolerated any more!
Doesn’t surprise me one bit about who was involved. Yup, I’m sure it’s all racial profiling. It has absolutely nothing to do with what was happening, right? The only way it was racial is if STUPID is a race. People, get your damn kids in check! If this is the way you raised your kids to act, get yourself in check and stop being part of the problem! Way to go Fed^ North Iowa, you’re doing an awesome job keeping your own families out of the news!
People grow up total lack of respect these are just punks not the real people that have lived here for ever,they are punks that have been run out of bigger cities.
Wrong! Some of these punks are parts of families that have been in this town for my entire 40+ years. They haven’t changed in all of that time, so they probably never will. They’ll just continue to act as if the world owes them something and they can do whatever they want regardless of any laws.
U Stole, It is so nice to finally see someone who thinks the same as myself. I have lived here my whole life and there’s certain families that just keep having more and more kids and the violence and problems with them will continue. It’s been going on for a few generations already and will continue. Ridiculous. I’m sick and tired of seeing their names in the court listings and sick and tired of them contining to get into trouble. What the heck is wrong with these people?
Gee, where was the all mighty “Fed ^ North Iowa” group? Aren’t they supposed to be out and about crime watching??? Oh wait, it was probably some of their members that were arrested.
Sounds like some of the problems they had at the state fair a few years ago. Start locking them up like the criminals they are. Maybe if they spend there summer break in jail they will learn some respect for the law. Better then prison later in life.
