MASON CITY – Recently paroled from prison, Tyler Meuer, age 22, of Mason City had been arrested on Friday, October 26th, for one Class D felony count of intimidation with a dangerous weapon under Iowa code 708.6-2. The arrest followed an incident in the 900 block of North Federal.
On Wednesday, November 2nd, Assistant County Attorney Steven Tynan motioned the court to reduce the felony charge to an aggravated misdemeanor count of assault with a dangerous weapon. The motion concluded “a lack of factual basis for the felony” charge.
Assistant County Attorney Steven Tynan also filed trial information on a new Class D felony charge of dominion control of a firearm or offensive weapon by a felon under Iowa code 724.26 against Meuer. Meuer has also has been charged additionally with an aggravated misdemeanor count of 1st Degree and an aggravated misdemeanor count of carrying dangerous weapons.
Meuer is no stranger to weapons charges, as Mason City police initiated the same action against him after a June 5th, 2011 incident at Big Blue in Mason City. Meuer was involved in an altercation at Big Blue and brandished a handgun and was arrested. Mason City police charged him for carrying weapons, failure to have a concealed weapons permit, disorderly conduct-fighting or violent behavior and unlawful assembly.
An arraignment date for the four charges has been set for November 11th at 9am. Tyler Meuer is also no longer listed on the Cerro Gordo County Jail inmate population report. The Iowa Department of Corrections shows he was released from custody on Friday, November 2nd, the same day the new charges were brought against him. Online court records show no bond receipt information.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
Steven Tynan…our city is sick and tired of gun wielding idiots…and even more sick of you personally suggesting they get reduced charges and letting them out. Ever hear of Karma someday for sure you will and then perhaps you will understand. So,in your opinion the perpetrator of a crime has more rights than the VALUE of the VICTIMS LIFE by the way that was my son…and I personally hold you responsible.
Throw the book at this loser and Steve Tynan!! The prosecutors office is doing a lousy job of protecting this community!!
Throw the book at this loser.
