CHARLES CITY – A man was beaten in Floyd county last year, and the men who did the deed have been found guilty and sentenced.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office was summoned to the Floyd County Medical Center in Charles City in the early morning hours of October 12, 2014 after a man was brought there who had been physically attacked by five to six male subjects. The beating allegedly took place on Triumph Avenue near 13th Avenue in Floyd county.
The investigation uncovered that another male was also attacked at the same time and location, and that there were numerous witnesses present. This lead to even more extensive investigations and interviews with witnesses.
