Kropf’s appeal bond rescinded and increased

Mason City – On Monday, August 13th, Assistant Chief Judge James M. Drew ruled on a motion filed Friday, August 10th, by Cerro Gordo County Assistant District Attorney Steven D. Tynan involving Jared Kropf.

In the motion Assistant District Attorney Steven D. Tynan motioned the court to rescind the $10,000 appeal bond posted by Clear Lake bonding agent Jim Finstad on July 30th and to increase the amount of the bond. The motion was filed after Kropf’s 2nd criminal charge since being released on the appeal bond less than two weeks prior.

The appeal bond had secured Kropf’s release from prison pending an appeal of his 5 year prison sentence after he plead guilty to a Class D felony count of willful injury causing bodily injury. Jared Kropf and his brother, Brandon Kropf, had been sentenced July 10th after voluntarily pleading guilty 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.

On Monday, August 13th, Assistant Chief Judge James M. Drew ordered the $10,000 surety bond posted by Clear Lake bonding agent Jim Finstad through Sun Surety Insurance Company be rescinded. Judge Drew also increased the bond requirement to $25,000 cash only in Kropf’s name only.  According to the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Inmate Population Report the bond must be posted during clerk of court hours only.

Since Jared’s release on appeal, July 30th, he has been charged with two separate criminal incidents. He was cited August 2nd by Mason City Police Department for interference with official acts. Following that arrest he posted a $300 surety bond and was released back to the streets.

Police again came across Jared Kropf the morning of August 10th after being called to an incident involving a vehicle that was stuck in some weeds at Big Blue. Jared was arrested at the scene for public intoxication and booked into the Cerro Gordo County Jail at 8:15 AM Friday where he has remained on $1,000 cash only bond.

Following Judge Drew’s order this afternoon Kropf’s status on the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Inmate Population Report has changed to, “awaiting transport to prison.”

SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
