MASON CITY – A wanted man saw police and tried to run away, but was caught and arrested on numerous felony fraud charges.
On April 8, 2017, at 10:42 PM, Mason City police officers observed a subject take off running from uniformed officers who were in the area of the 1000 block of South Illinois Avenue on a different matter. Officers caught and detained the subject, 34-year-old Jeffery Baumann of Mason City. Baumann had multiple valid arrest warrants for Forgery and Lottery Theft. Baumann is accused of allegedly passing multiple stolen and forged checks to numerous Mason City businesses in the late fall of 2016.
