MASON CITY – A wanted man didn’t go quietly Sunday night as police officers attempted to take him into custody.
Sunday night at around 9:45 PM, Mason City police officers went to 911 16th Street NE (owned by Vicki and Shirley Kropf) to try and serve an arrest warrant. When the officers arrived, wanted felon Valentine Flores was outside the residence and fled on foot from the officers.
Officers chased Flores and were able to arrest the mixed-martial-artist a short distance away. Police told NIT that Flores allegedly resisted arrest and two officers received minor injuries while trying to subdue Flores, leading to two counts of Interference with Official Acts (serious misdemeanors).
Flores remains jailed on no bond in connection to a possible parole revocation to his release from prison for drug dealing. He is also being held on $42,000 cash bond connected to his charges of interference and a charge of first degree theft.
You all are a bunch of fucking lames running your mouth whipple died because he was an addict him self. Autopsy came back self inflicted death he was a opioid addict.
John not the hospitals fault if he did this its his own damn fault and his dumb ass friends and the old lady he lived with to allow all the shit that was going on. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
John I heard he just walked out of Iowa City Hospital with their gown and blanket on and came back to Mason City to party with his friends that Sunday Night.
It is to bad they just din’t shoot him and save us a bunch of money. It would have been a waste of a bullet.
Where are the other obvious charges? Aiding or harboring a fugitive and for Val… assault, manslaughter or even murder as a result of Whipple’s death from a felony. Perhaps Mercy has some responsibility for releasing him with the serious head injury and other injuries from the senseless beating. MCPD, Do your job!!!
he was sent to Iowa City and released by the UI Hospital, but I do agree with your point. He should no have been released.
What is with all of these young guns stealing, selling dope and lots of assaults? Didn’t their parents want them to go to school? No wonder we have all the misfits running wild in town. Our schools are filled with special needs kids a result of the drug and alcohol ingested while pregnant. What a sick and tainted world we now live. Its call hell.
Their parents wouldn’t discipline them. The schools aren’t allowed to discipline them. Now the legal system system has to deal with them and we have to pay for them (either via welfare or incarceration). This is the kinder, gentler world we ALL tolerated into existence.
Vals going bye bye, next druggie step up to the plate, one more to jail who will be the next to come on down, put some names on here so we can see who will take VALS spot as the next big dealer in town
Surprised he wasn’t found at Darcy Davisons (or whatever last name she’s using now)house or her loser daughter Taylor Hovengas house! That’s where the MCPD should be looking for answers at!
Score!!!!! We win you LOSE r ! Little prick scank. Hope someone reads all this to you. Adios!
If Kropf’s were harboring a fugitive, they should be charged. This guy is a menace to society, and should never again see the light of day as a free man.
The whole damn family is that way. They should all be in jail for life.
Thanks to the Mason City PD for getting this dirtbag off the streets of our town.
Haha you sound like you love the streets of Mason of Mason City you lame bitch.
