RURAL CERRO GORDO COUNTY – A former Illinois woman who now lives in Mason City was jailed this week for lying to a deputy, among other offenses.
A Cerro Gordo deputy stopped a vehicle near Washington Avenue and State Street Tuesday night at about 10:30 PM. The driver, 26-year-old Reekia Marie Perry – formerly of Peoria, Illinois, then Northwood, Iowa and now living in Mason City – was found to have no driver’s license. She also could show no proof of insurance and then attempted to mislead the deputy, leading to a charge of providing false information.
Perry was arrested, taken to the county jail, and held there. Her vehicle was impounded.
