MASON CITY – A Clear Lake woman and convicted felon is in jail for a firearm violation.
Krystel Rae Anderson, 28, was arrested Friday and taken to the Cerro Gordo County Jail. She is charged with possession of a firearm as a felon and carrying a dangerous weapon. She is being held on $7,000 cash-only bond.
Anderson is a convicted felon, related to drug charges. She served just less than a year in the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women in Mitchellville, from May 23rd 2012 and was recently released on May 10th, 2013. While incarcerated, she was charged with felony possession of contraband but the charge was dismissed.
In 2011, Anderson, along with another North Iowa woman, was caught trying to steal a computer from an Austin, MN Wal-Mart. Also in 2011, Anderson tried to pay for delivery food with fake money and was arrested by Mason City police. She was charged with D felony forgery but was able to plead to aggravated misdemeanor forgery. She still owes Iowa courts $59.50 in that case.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
