MASON CITY – Mason City police responded to an on-going feud situation at the 900 block of North Federal Avenue Sunday.
Mason City Police Sgt. Greg Scott said Monday morning that police responded to a verbal disturbance at 4:00 PM at 914 N. Federal.
“It involved several subjects, 6-7 males in late teens, no weapons seen. We had 5 officers and a Supervisor on the scene,” Sgt. Scott said.
“They dispersed. Half went one way, half went the other way. It was people not getting along.”
Sgt. Scott said later at 6:38 PM police responded to a call about harassment in the same area but “it may not have been related.”
Sources, however, told NIT that Mason City Police officers had been at 909 and 914 North Federal six times because of the fighting, not necessarily all on Sunday. A source that was at the location said, “The police officers said if they had to come back one more time, they’d take everybody in.”
Police officers were sitting down the block Sunday evening, watching.
Sources told NIT that the feud started the day before over two dogs. Dogs from each house “were sniffing each other,” said the source. It was said that the situation escalated from there and became more serious.
“There were three boys (hanging out at) the 909 residence that attacked a pregnant woman at Casey’s on Saturday,” NIT was told. A male teen punched a woman in the mouth and another male teen “bought a squirt gun at Casey’s and threatened and aimed the gun at (the woman) and said, “I’m going to shoot you, you f****** b****.” Her name and address won’t be published.
The source also informed, “There haven’t been any arrests, pending viewing of the Casey’s video tape.”
Witnesses said the male teens on Sunday were calling the woman extremely derogatory names in front of police.
No arrests were made, as Sgt. Scott said “no one would come forward with anything, there was no victim.”
Another man who lives just a few doors away said that the two groups of teens and other adults “were having a yelling match across the highway.”
He said “it took more than an hour for every one of (the police officers) to leave.
“We had issues with (some of the people involved Sunday) on both Friday and Saturday nights which escalated into them bringing an adult male into the mix that stood in Casey’s doorway and yelled at me 3 or 4 times, “Shut up, b****!”
The man went on to say that he and his group dealt with the situation in their own way.
“Saturday, I ended up with an impromptu party on my porch that consisted of 12 friends, a keg, and various firearms. A very nice tactical 12 gauge was being passed around for everyone to check out. Amazingly enough, all of the hoodrats left the immediate area and never returned to Casey’s before they close.”
David, I would be very interested in this approach to getting problems off the streets.
I do know Todd, he as far as I know don’t blog here, if he did he would not of used a diffrent name he would call himself his own self.
Who are you calling Todd, I am old enough to be his mother. Ha.
Sorry, wow, but I’m not Todd. Hate to disappoint you. And you insult me with your comment.
Oh please, I think blodgett needs to stop posting comments about himself!
Your right somebody needs step up to the plate before the dboyz takes over. Blodgett he don’t take no shit off nobody, I seen him shoot the back tires of a pickup maybe 5 years ago, scared the f/////g hell out of a driver he got pissed off at.
I shall be infinitely, splendidly unable to fathom the thought processes of you crazy racists, and your enthusiastic promotion of the brand of life-threatening violence for which the fascistic Todd Blodgett is known to perpetrate against society’s less fortunate members. If indeed there is a god, you’re all destined for it. I shall now scream.
I second that notion of MC cops give Blodgett a free hand run the d-boys clean out of town. My wife seen a article says TB knows some real rough Nazi’s, they may be can help but probaly have to pay them ok it still worth it, I am thinking.
Right Susy we got to get some body do something about them scum hell yes.My nephew seen Todd Blodget walk a carny back into a bar in CL with a gun on the carnys back, he can get it done yes.
I am sorry, mean to say what not hat, although I do have some pretty hats. Ha.
hat the blog people who gave opinions on Mr Peter Children’s column had to say is good. It really is time for MC PD to sub contract Mr Todd Blodgett to help get rid of these people. Vote him a exemption or whatever you call it, he knows how to deal with these low lifes, we must wipe them out real soon.
Anit nuttin u do about it!! makin babies and smokn dope … getn free food getn free house … that’s wut its all about baby … Threatn my well being .. well … “bang bang” …
Oops, the editor at NIT “fu”ed again.
these three little punks did something to my friends and they will get their. you don’t put a gun of any kind to someone’s head and say, “bang, bang, you’re dead. ( with a few more words I wont put) they step over the line. The really sad thing is the police took their side. These punks even attacked her. They will get it. They jumped her, now they will get it soon. Its BS that our police dept must be scared…
I was born and raised in Mason City, lived there for 24 years befor moving out of state. My family and I visited family and friends this summer, after being away for about 3 years. I will have to say that Mason City has went far off of the map with all the violence that is happening in such a small city that I once loved and was proud to be a part of. When there this summer I was afraid to let my wife and children out of site hearing all of the crap that is going on in Mason. Before coming this summer we talked about moving back at times to be closer to family and friends, but with all the stuff that goes on there we feel much safer and don’t plan on coming back to live. Mason City as a City is falling apart and the City needs to do something about it, because people don’t want to go some place that they feel is not safe.
Whats the problem these are probably just more of GMA Jeans misunderstood grandchildren!
news flash you lames arent cool or tough.
stop watching youtube videos and go read a book stupid kids here i swear. one of you get your head blown off and its stop the violence bs instead of just being normal and stop acting like you live in a rap video go do something with your miserable life.
your father (if you know him) should be ashamed.
I think we need to consider what will happen if these teenagers don’t ever get in trouble for their behavior…something much worse than yelling across a street. Also, if one of the teenagers assaulted a pregnant woman….why is he/she still not in trouble?? MC kids are getting away with WAY too much and that is why they continue with this behavior because they have no consequences to fear! They learn this from their parents who are in and out of jail without ever having long lasting consequences for their behavior. These kids will continue to be defiant and disrespectful as long as they get away with it. What happened to putting pressure on kids to behave…MC kids think the police in town are a joke, especially when they see the school resource officer sitting as his desk all day long. It’s only a matter of time until something major happens…and then what?? We as adults have a responsibility to teach teenagers right from wrong…so the police need to start doing that…even if it is just a conversation about consequences that could occur if the behavior continues and getting the parents involved.
It’s these people who are a drain on society. Yet, much like the Middle East, we think we can reform them and take a person who has been born into a situation, where Mom’s in jail, Dad (well we don’t know where he is, probably with some other chunky white girl, grandma… heck she’s probably served her time too and has a shotgun in her back porch.
It seems cruel to just give up, but our court system doesn’t seem to be fixing them, moving them away from their hood doesn’t seem to fix them. Yet, mama’s been on food stamps all her life, blaming the system, blaming misfortune, blaming the fact that she got knocked up six different times by six different guys and none of them hung around. So, it’s a proven fact that her six children are statistically prone to do the exact same thing.
Drain the system, drain taxpayers money, drain foodstamps, drain unemployment, drain heating assistance drain SSI, SSDI,etc. fight in our neighborhood, raise the crime rate, lower the value of your property by their property being in a shambles, stealing and raising the cost of what we buy. Yet every time I go to the grocery store, with a very limited budget, these people are in front of me at Fareway buying the 60 lb meat packages. They are in front of me at the checkout, and they get out their green food stamp card, buy their 2 baskets full of steaks, chips, pop, etc. I pay for my bologna sandwiches and then see them loading their 12 bags of groceries into a brand new Escalade with new dealer tags still on it. Something is definitely wrong with our system!
