MASON CITY – A Fort Dodge man who was sent to prison for robbing the Northside Liquor store in Mason City back in 2009 has been sent back to prison for shooting up a Fort Dodge bar.
Jordan Michael Foy, age 23, was 17 years old when he and a Mason City woman robbed the Northside Liquor store. He was later convicted and sent to prison on a 10 year sentence, which he only served a fraction of. He was awarded a re-sentencing hearing by the Iowa Court of Appeals. That hearing was held on December 9, 2014 in Mason City. The remainder of the jail sentence was suspended and he was released from custody.
Alexandra Elliff, age 24 of Mason City, was also sent to prison for helping Foy rob the store. She was paroled in April of 2014, is now living in Mason City and claims to work at WiseGuys Sports Pub.
After Foy was released from prison, it didn’t take long for his violent tendencies to re-emrge.
Foy appeared in Webster County District Court on Friday, April 22, 2016, and pled guilty as charged to two felonies related to a shooting that occurred at the Dodger Tap in Fort Dodge. District Court Judge Thomas Bice accepted Foy’s guilty pleas to the charges of Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon, a class “C” forcible felony, and Possession of a Firearm as a Felon, a class “D” felony.
Fort Dodge Police responded to the Dodger Tap at about 1:45 AM on December 13, 2015, where they discovered a fight had broken out inside the bar. At the guilty plea hearing, Foy admitted that he fired multiple shots inside the bar, placing the occupants in fear of serious injury. Foy also admitted that he had a previous felony conviction, making it unlawful for him to possess a firearm.
Judge Bice sentenced Foy to the maximum terms of 10 years in prison on the charge of Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon and 5 years in prison on the charge of Possession of a Firearm as a Felon. When imposing the sentence, Judge Bice emphasized the necessity of incarceration to ensure the safety of the community.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Foy was remanded to the immediate custody of the Webster County Sheriff for transport to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center at Oakdale, Iowa, to serve his prison sentence.
However, Foy was actually sent to the Cerro Gordo county jail, where he is now being held, on a probation revocation charge connected to his felony second-degree robbery of the Northside Liquor Store.
According to court records, at approximately 3:30 PM on December 5, 2009, a young male (Foy) and female (Elliff) entered North Side Liquor in Mason City. As they entered the store, a store clerk, Chevelle Awe, was exiting the store to get coffee from the Kum & Go across the street. Awe remembered seeing the two as customers in the store the previous night. After Awe exited the store, the male approached the clerk behind the counter, Rasheed Choodry, and demanded money from the register. The male repeated the demand, displaying a knife in his left hand. When Choodry handed money from the register to the male, the male stated “let’s go” and ran out of the store with the female.
Mason City Police Officers arrived a few minutes later. The officers reviewed the store’s surveillance video and observed the male and female. From the Kum & Go across the street, officers were able to obtain still photographs of the two, and could identify the female as eighteen-year-old Alexandra Elliff. Later that evening, officers presented the clerks, Awe and Choodry, with a photographic line-up.
Both identified Alexandra Elliff as the female involved in the robbery.
On December 7, 2009, officers located Elliff and transported her to the police station to be interviewed. During her interview, Elliff admitted her involvement as the “lookout” in the North Side Liquors robbery, and identified Foy as the male. Elliff gave details about her relationship with Foy, why he was in Mason City visiting, and their plan for Elliff to help Foy rob the store in order for Foy to get gas money for his return trip home in Fort Dodge. Based on Elliff’s interview, officers obtained an arrest warrant for Foy and sent a copy of the warrant to the Fort Dodge Police Department.
On December 10, 2009, Fort Dodge officers located Foy, placed him under arrest, and transported him along with his mother, at her request, to the police station. Foy was almost three months past his seventeenth birthday. He had an extensive juvenile record, but no prior experience with the adult offender system. Foy and his mother signed a Miranda waiver. The next day, Investigators Jeremy Ryal and Terrance Prochaska interviewed Foy. Foy’s mother was no longer there, but Foy explained that his mother had already “signed the papers” allowing him to talk with officers if he wanted.
Ryal interviewed Foy for approximately thirty-three minutes. Foy initially denied involvement with the robbery, but later admitted he was involved.
The State charged Foy with robbery in the first degree. Foy pleaded not guilty. Prior to trial, Foy moved to suppress his confession. The district court denied the motion. Foy waived his right to a jury trial and consented to a trial on the minutes. As part of the agreement for a trial on the minutes, the State amended the charge to robbery in the second degree. The court found Foy guilty as charged.
