MASON CITY – A man who escaped a sex abuse charge was picked up for his third probation violation within the last seven months.
Andrew Lloyd Spurgeon, 20, originally from Iowa Falls but now showing a Mason City address, was picked up on a warrant by a Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s deputy on Friday afternoon at Beje Clark Residential Center.
The warrant was set by the courts for an unspecified probation violation that occurred last week. This alleged violation would be Spurgeon’s third since May of 2012 in relation to a third degree sexual abuse charge that Spurgeon received a deferred judgement on. Spurgeon received a deferred judgement on March 26, 2012, in a 3rd degree sexual abuse case from Judge Stephen P. Carroll, stemming from a complaint from the Mason City Police Department brought in May of 2011. Carroll ordered Spurgeon to register as a sex offender for 10 years and perform 50 hours of community service and was placed on probation and ordered to stay at Beje Clark Residential Center.
Spurgeon is currently being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on $10,000 bond.
