MASON CITY – A Mason City man will spend up to 5 years in prison after his latest domestic assault arrest.
Mason City police officers were dispatched for an incomplete 911 Sunday morning, November 6, 2016. Officers arrived to 194 South Grover Avenue #6 and upon further investigation, it was determined to be a physical domestic assault. A male subject at the scene, 29-year-old Michael Wayne Holton, was arrested and transported to the county jail on a charge of felony domestic abuse assault. Allegedly, he threatened a woman and then assaulted her.
As a result of this crime, Holton was sentenced to a prison term of up to 5 years after pleading guilty to felony third-offense domestic abuse assault. He has already been shipped to prison.
Holton pled guilty to second offense domestic assault in 2014. He had been charged with felony third offense domestic assault after an incident on the afternoon of July 29, 2014, when Mason City police responded to a domestic situation at 150 South Grover Avenue. Holton was arrested and charged that day. Holton was later accused 31 times of violating the no-contact order that was imposed in that domestic abuse case. As part of the plea deal, for the first no-contact order violation, Holton was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
Holton then appealed his sentence.
In upholding the guilty plea and sentence, the Iowa appeals court found that the district court recited on the record its reasons for extending the no-contact order and declining to modify it at the time of sentencing. Neither Holton nor his counsel represented the victim or should be allowed to represent her interests in these proceedings. The court did not abuse its discretion when explaining to Holton the reasons for declining to modify the no-contact order. He was incarcerated in a Fort Dodge prison to serve jail time in this case.
Holton still owes over $6,000 to the Iowa courts in connection to his 2014 conviction. He is also a convicted felon for taking marijuana to the county jail back in 2008.
Goodness, look at all the ignorance. I’ve seen my ex’s pic here so many times for DV it’s not funny, would you be spewing the same sh*t? He’s white. Maybe instead of making yourselves sick over skin color or political parties you should be thinking “What needs to change in the justice system so repeat offenders STOP being repeat offenders?”
Lastly, don’t forget the white scumbags while you’re bashing blacks. After all, the word “trash” covers all people- no matter color, ethnicity, religion… Evil has no specific preference. Quit whining, you people look like fools fighting over who is the worst badass.
Anonymous= Dont know which one you are but heres the deal f**k sticks like you mean nothing to me, maybe you like paying for shit turds that live off the state,commit crime after crime and get handed food stamps and government assistance wil I dont so st ick your proper grammar up your smelly arse. Hope it feels good. Oh by the wau I’m pretty $$$$$$$ wise also I just dont brag about it. FOADB
Must have hit a nerve huh hillbilly joe?
Glad to see at least some criminal activity in Cerro Gordo county is receiving punishment.
About 60% of the US is bleeding hearts anymore because 50% of the 60 are worthless shit turds that dont work and live off the other 40%. Now where do you that made the comments below fall into. Be honest as you are the one that has to get up every morning and look into that mirror.
Average joe, the unemployment rate is 4.9%, not 30%. Are you sure you dont receive a social secuirty check? Your grammar shows a third grade reading level, and you seem to think making up statistics justifies your ignorance. If you have a mental disorder, i am sorry. Maybe commenting on things the general public can see isn’t appropriate? Also, i made the majority of the comments below. I have two jobs, and own three seperate properties in the north iowa area. I probably have more reason to be upset with the crime in the area, yet im not. Being upset with things you cant control will only feed into your own unhappiness.
Liar,
Liar,
Pants on fire,
You make my lunch with a deep fat fryer
Original thought, not so much. If i did work at mcdonalds, id shit in your lunch. Your opinions lack substance, very little thought. How often do you shower, and eat your own snot?
Rymes are easy, i could do this all day.
Maybe try a hobby, perhaps another job? Id say go apply at mcdonalds, but you are a snob. Everyone has purpose, its not hard to see. The problems of others will always be. Learn to let go, be kind to others. Everyone has siblings, parents, and significant others. Happiness is possible, give it a try. The next time you comment, try not to lie. Just because you believe something, doesnt make it true. Im bored with this conversation, im done conversing with you.
I was taught early in life, to do things right, including my job. get a good job, take care of it, and it will take care of you. In turn I don’t need a second job, loser.
Ha! You think i have a second job because i need it? I take care of elderly family members that would have to live in assisted living if i wasnt around. I dont get paid for my second job, i do it because it keeps me busy, and helps others in need. The purpose of getting a second job would be so you stop bitching about others online. It has no impact on whats going on, other than pissing off others family and friends. If drama is what you wish to spend your free time on, so be it. I wouldnt normally comment on these after so long, but ive been busy and hadnt seen the comments until now.
Send him to Syria under the refuse program.
Your democratic chamber of greyhound buses brought him here – What a sleazy outfit. GO TRUMP -send them all back.
F**KEN worthless trash imports. We need to bring back hanging in central park. I know all you bleeding hearts will say I’m crazy and guess the f**k right I am your lucky I’m not in charge. GO TRUMP DEPORT these shit turds.
I am so glad someone as worthless and vile as yourself is not in charge. If you want someone to hang, maybe start with yourself? Rid the world of your hatred so others dont have to deal with it.
i imagine you can thank Obama that he is / was a resident a resident of our city. He definitely changed Mason City and the surrounding area. For the better? You decide.
Im not sure what fairytale world you live in. There are tons of people arrested ever day that were born and raised here. Everyone potentially has problems, no matter where they originated from. Im assuming you just like being prejudice.
