MASON CITY – A former Mason city woman has plead guilty to a theft charge after fleeing security guards at Kohl’s department store in Mason City with three bottles of perfume on December 18th.
Olga Gutierrez, 40, showing a Stacyville, Iowa address but formerly of Mason City, was located and arrested by Mason City police after the incident. She plead guilty on January 22nd and reported to the Cerro Gordo County Jail on February 8th. Records did not show the exact sentence she received, but jailers said she will be serving 7 days. Gutierrez was originally charged with enhanced third degree theft.
Gutierrez is still awaiting adjudication on a charge of enhanced third degree theft after a September 29th, 2012 incident where Mason City police issued a citation. According to a report, security at Hy-Vee Drug Store attempted to detain Gutierrez but she fled the scene after being suspected of shoplifting. Her court date has been postponed a number of times in this case. She is now facing a jury trial on April 12th after pleading not guilty.
