MASON CITY – A man and a woman lost in the woods north of Mason City were taken to jail after cops found them.
A woman dialed 911 late Saturday night, saying she and the man she was with was lost and scared in the sprawling wooded area near Lime Creek Nature Center and the cement plants.
A considerable number of police officers responded to the area and attempted to find the pair as the woman remained on the phone with an emergency dispatcher.
Police finally found the couple, identified as 46-year-old Wendy Jo Jorgensen and 32-year-old Jason Thomas Lawler. Police determined that they were intoxicated and due to the amount of effort that went into finding them, they were placed under arrest. Jorgensen was charged with public intoxication and Lawler was charged with aggravated public intoxication. Both were jailed.

Lesson here. Don’t drink & hike…oh and don’t forget the first rule we all learn early on…STAY ON THE PATH! What a waste of time. Parks have hours for a reason.
That’s what you get for calling for help in Iowa.
Calling for help while intoxicated and trespassing…
So, the lesson is if you’re drunk and lost don’t ask for help. The hate is rich in these parts.
@Untrained-The lesson is, do not trespass while drunk and then get yourself lost causing the police to spend a lot of money trying to find you. It is not up to the rest of us taxpayers to pay so they can break the law.
