MASON CITY – An Illinois man recently released from jail as he awaits trial for a swath of felony charges was arrested just a few days later for assault with a dangerous weapon and other charges after police responded to an incident in the Cultural Crescent.
Jonathan Terez Harris, age 20 of Joliet, Illinois, was released from jail on September 2 on his own recognizance by Judge Karen Salic as he and his attorneys work out a guilty plea in a case involving charges of felony second degree theft, three charges of felony theft and contempt of court.
Just four days later, Harris found himself dealing with several police officers when a person called police to report an assault at an apartment house at the 500 block of East State Street. On September 6 at about 5:28 AM, Mason City police officers went to 540 East State Street to investigate the incident and arrested Harris on charges of going armed with intent, false imprisonment, obstruction of emergency communications, assault causing serious injury, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Harris was jailed and held on $10,000.00 cash-only bond as he awaits a court date on September 12.
