MASON CITY – A man in jail since August facing felony charges of burglary and attempted murder had new charges added this week after a jailhouse scuffle.
According to jailers at the Cerro Gordo County Jail, Frederick Joseph Olson, age 41, got into an argument with another inmate which led to a short fight.
“He broke a TV remote against the wall,” a jailer told NIT. There were no apparent injuries in the scuffle no medical attention was required.
