MASON CITY – A Mason City man was arrested Wednesday night after being pulled over by law enforcement.
Joshua Austin Larsen, 31, was pulled over by Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Deputies on County Road B-20 for a traffic violation.
During the traffic stop, Larsen was found not to have a valid driver’s license and was arrested.
A search of Larsen and the vehicle he was driving resulted in locating suspected methamphetamine and a loaded firearm.
Larsen was transported to the Cerro Gordo County Jail and charged with the following crimes:
Possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, a class C felony; possession of a loaded firearm as a convicted felon, a class D felony; no Iowa driver’s license, a simple misdemeanor; littering, a simple misdemeanor; failure to carry proof of insurance, a simple misdemeanor; possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor.
Larson is now being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on $50,000 bond.
If they let out the pot smokers they’d have more room in prisons for real criminals like this bozo. Blame the reefer madness fools and Nancy R’s worthless “just say no” futile campaign meant to pacify them.
This is the second or third time I have seen articles with different pictures of inmates’s faces that are in our county jail on that new big screen on the outside of the jail entrance. It is nice to see that the jail has installed this big screen thing so that people can see who is locked up in there. However much it cost, it is worth it.
who could have ever guessed that a convicted felon would break the current laws and have a loaded weapon in his car? do we really need more gun laws?
And what do you make a bet everything is plea bargain down to simple misdemeanors
My bet is simple possesion and littering.
