MASON CITY – A Mason City man was arrested Sunday morning after a domestic incident.
Bryon Michael Sletten, 46, was arrested at a location in the 600 block of South Connecticut Avenue by Mason City police at about 1:20 AM Sunday. He was charged with aggravated domestic assault by strangulation. Police could not release details on the condition of the victim.
Sletton was arrested after another violent exchange earlier this month after a fight in downtown Mason City. Police said Sunday that they had witnessed Sletten engaged in an altercation on December 1st with a man named John Smith at the 200 block of North Federal Avenue in an alley. Sletten was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Sletton is a convicted felon who has served time in Iowa penitentiaries. He owes the courts thousands of dollars in unpaid fines, fees and restitution. His record includes convictions due to harassment, assault, operating while intoxicated, driving while barred, theft, probation violations and more.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
112 reasons for swelling neck muscle, strangulation is not one of them.
Iam starting to think that Sletten is the victim. Does anyone other than Sletten have any injurys to them.
The mother of Lisa Rodberg as mad false statments to the police before and has a long history of mental problems, drug addiction and child abuse to all of her kids.
So apparently the victim needs a lung exposed or something for this douche to be properly charged? This judicial system sucks. And was this guy eating shit when his mugshot was taken or what?
What did she expect dading a known criminal. It’s all fun and games until somebody does the last line.
So what is bodily injury? Broken hyoid bone?
This guy needs to be put away for a long time with anger management therapy.
Damn South End, should bulldoze the whole thing.
@Matt-he was arrested in the South End. These rejects come to the North End and do their crimes then run home to the Damn South End.
Damn north end!
