Violent face slasher sent to prison for up to 10 years

MASON CITY – You’ve seen his face in the news numerous times over the past several months, involved in various nefarious activities. The slow, creaky wheels of North Iowa justice finally caught up to Jordan Holmes, and he will now be visiting a jail cell for up to 10 years.

Jordan Holmes, age 24 of Mason City, pled guilty on June 9th to felony C willful injury causing serious injury.   He was sentenced to ten years in prison and assessed $1,751.80 in court costs and fines.

Holmes had been standing near a group of people late on March 8, 2014 in the Cultural Crescent near Southbridge Mall in downtown Mason City with a curved knife in his hands, picking fights with people as they went by him. A man approached Holmes and asked him to leave people alone. Video surveillance, which had been turned over to police, then shows Holmes slashing the man across the face with the knife, and then turning and running.

Holmes was already on probation for eluding police. His probation was revoked, and he was given a four year prison term to be served concurrently with the 10-year sentence. In the eluding case, Holmes fled from police on December 21, 2013, drunk, and was later caught at his house. He was charged with operating under the influence, failure to use headlamps when required, interference with official acts, failure to maintain control, eluding law enforcement, assault on a peace officer, and driving while suspended.

Holmes was transported to the Iowa Medical Classification Center on June 18th for processing so that he can begin serving his prison sentence.

Holmes has been in the news numerous times since 2012, accused of violent crimes, and many times, escaping with little punishment.

Holmes was arrested by Mason City Police Officers for an incident that occurred on April 29th, 2012 in which he was charged with an aggravated misdemeanor count of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment, and a simple misdemeanor count of domestic abuse assault. He was fined and spent two days in jail.

In November of 2013, Holmes was charged with interference with official acts, aggravated public intoxication, and assault on a peace officer after police investigated a large fight on 10th Street NE. Holmes was with the aggressors in that incident, traveling in a car with a drunk driver, that ended up in downtown Mason City. Holmes and the others were headed to the bars when police caught up with them.  Three other persons were charged in that case, as well.

Holmes was arrested again in November of 2013 by Clear Lake police after he was discovered to be in the company of a Mason City woman who had stolen her friend’s vehicle and ransacked her possessions.

Earlier in 2013, Holmes beat a felony D criminal mischief charge in a plea bargain and accepted a guilty plea of aggravated misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was assessed by Iowa courts $3,132.94 in court costs and restitution, but never made a payment. He served virtually no time in jail for that offense.
