MASON CITY – A man who has been charged numerous times previously with assault was picked up in Mason City by police late Thursday.
Mason City police said they picked up Kenneth Shaun Neilsen, 31, around 9:20 PM Thursday evening at the 000 block of 2nd Street NE with no complications.
Neilsen was charged with domestic abuse involving strangulation, a class D felony, after a July 19th incident in Mason City. This is his third or subsequent charge of domestic assault.
Neilsen has also assaulted other citizens, as he did in 2011 and plead guilty. Neilsen had been in Beje Clark’s residential treatment program from November 2011 until January 21st, 2012 when Mason City Police responded to a report of Nielson assaulting a local citizen. As a result Nielson was charged with a serious misdemeanor count of assault causing bodily injury. Court records show through a voluntary negotiated guilty plea the original charge was amended to simple misdemeanor assault.
Neilsen plead not guilty on August 2nd to this latest assault charge and now faces a trial on September 24th.

this is a fine example of a failed justice system the punishment that scum like this gets dosnt make sense he should have never had the chance to repeat his crimein the 1800 s he would have been dealt with properly to many bleeding hearts saying criminals like this have rites what happened to common curtisy & respect ask yourself what would John Wayne do then scum like this would think about there action with real consequences to fit there crime
The ones that pisses me off the most is all these tough guys assaulting their girlfriends,wifes and then these so drunk tough guys that like to fight the cops and spit on them when they know they will get off by crying to the judges and begging that they will never do it again I’d love to see these POS get canned in front of the court house. Way to many 3,4,5,6 chances in our system.
I would start with some caining.
I am thinking this fellow is not a repeat offender!
WARNING: THIS IS GRAPHIC!

This guy is going to keep doing this until he kills someone. What does it take for the judges to realize that.
It will take him killing someone.
lets make a site on nitoday for a list of multiple crime offenders that keep getting charged and set free to continue their assaults and repeated arrests. Feel free to use names, maybe someone will take note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a bad idea.
whats another charge in this town? Was looking at the mugshots and saw another loser Aaron hermen got picked up last night, not more than a month ago he was being sent to prison, our judicial system really works f**king good. Keep up the shitty work you worthless judges
