MASON CITY – Police stopped a vehicle early Monday morning and found meth ready to be delivered and a North Iowa man armed with a long knife.
Mason City police conducted a traffic stop Monday just after 1:04 AM near Federal Avenue and 25th Street NW after the officer recognized that the driver is known to have a barred license.
During the traffic stop and subsequent investigation, police confirmed that the driver, 27-year-old Jeremiah Daniel Barker of Latimer, was barred from driving. He pled guilty in Franklin county court to second offense drunk driving last year and lost his license. Barker was arrested, jailed and later released.
The passenger in the car, 22-year-old Justin Albert Heiserman, also of Latimer, was found to be in possession of a dangerous weapon – a knife over 8 inches long.
Officers also discovered illegal drugs – methamphetamine – and drug paraphernalia in the car as it was searched.
Heiserman was charged with felony carrying a dangerous weapon, possession of meth with intent to deliver, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was jailed and held on bond. Heiserman has been charged with serious crimes in several North Iowa counties, including felony theft (Worth), assault with intent to inflict serious injury and drug possession (Franklin) and more.

We already have all this crime in the area and yet idiots want to legalize pot so we can have black markets and cartel come in on top of everything else we have going on. All we need is more imports to deal with. Just wait until the real bad guy’s (CARTEL) come in. What a bunch of dummy’s.
You do realize that drugs are 100% criminal, black market / cartel run right now, right? Legalizing drugs will take a significant portion of the revenue away from the black market and put it to work for the state. Yes, so far there is still a black market in CO for weed, and 100% black market for other illegal drugs. However CO has more tax revenue than they know what to do with. The black market may never go away, just like the drug problem, but lets be smarter about it ok LVS?
@left MC-At least now we know who to go after now. These people have already shown themselves to be law breakers and rule breakers. Why would you think that will improve by making them braindead too. So, why don’t you try to be smarter about it and obey the law.
Your response is so idiotic it doesn’t even deserve my recognition, yet here I am typing.
You seem old and scared, most likely you’ve only got a few years left of voting time before you kick the bucket and the world can get on with progress.
