MASON CITY – A Mason City man awaiting trial for domestic assault was found guilty Tuesday morning of violating the pre-trial no contact order.
Judge Ron Wagenaar sentenced Bryon Michael Sletten, 46, to 7 days in jail for the violation, which occurred on January 1st.
According to a witness, Sletten “became so irate and belligerent in courtroom” that the victim “had to be escorted out by two sheriff’s deputies.”
Sletten has so far only been charged with an aggravated misdemeanor despite reports that the victim sustained significant bodily injury that required a trip the Mercy Hospital emergency room. In Iowa, domestic assault resulting in bodily injury can be charged as a felony.
Sletten faces trial in the domestic assault case on February 15th.
