MASON CITY – A former Chicago man now gracing the streets of Mason City has struck a plea deal after he rolled up on officers and got aggressive.
Trapp Leroy Trotter, age 29 and formerly of Chicago but now living in Mason City, was arrested back on April 12. Police tell NIT that at 11:55 PM that day, a MCPD officer stopped a vehicle in the 400 block of 10th ST NW. While the officer was interacting with the driver, a second car pulled up to the scene. The passenger in the second car, Trotter, allegedly exited the vehicle, and began yelling at the officer who was with the first vehicle. Trotter was told to get back in his car but allegedly refused and kept interfering with the traffic stop. Additional officers arrived and arrested Trotter for Public Intox and Interference with Official Acts. Police believe that Trotter knew someone in the first car that the officer had stopped.
After the state paid for Trotter’s public defender, a plea deal was struck this week in the case. Trotter pled guilty to interference with official acts and the public intoxication charge was dismissed. He was ordered to pay $397.50 in fines and court fees.
Trotter was arrested on May 23 for fleeing police in a car while in an alleged drunken state and then crashing into a garage, causing serious damage to it. In that May 23 incident, along with drunk driving, Trotter was charged with Interference with Official Acts and Assault on a Peace Officer after he tried to strike an officer. He has another public defender and has entered not-guilty pleas. He awaits trials later this summer in this case.
Trotter’s trouble didn’t end there. He was arrested a third time on May 29 as people faced off in the area of the 300 block of North Monroe. He was booked into the county jail just after 11:00 PM that night on another charge of interference with official acts. He pleaded not guilty and awaits a July 5 trial.
they did a study awhile back and found that more black men are arrested then white men, that was easy to figure out, more black men comment crimes
Who ever you are, your so stupid it’s amazing! You seriously don’t have a shred of a single ounce of a clue to how stupid you are to spew that foul misinformed opinion. You are the pinnacle of white trash! Your the reason why respectable whites have to suffer while trying to separate ourselves from trash like you!
Trapp, get your drunk under control. Your lucky you were not in Chicago, you may have gotten shot!
I personally know a couple of Caucasians who have been featured in these articles the last month. If people mess up, they make this rag. Keep your nose clean and it doesn’t get wiped with newsprint.
Color doesn’t make a difference. He obviously has no respect for the law and should go to jail. I see plenty of crimes being covered here and they are all races. It is what it is!!!
Just another loser and that comment is based on his actions and has absolutely nothing to do with skin color.
It is just racist to have these articles. They are all about blacks.
And guess what organization brought him here, and is paying his rent?
