MASON CITY – A convicted domestic abuser who punished another victim and claimed he was ready to use a gun in his most recent alleged crime is now wanted on two arrest warrants issued in recent weeks.
The incident involving Cory Lee Craig took place Saturday, December 17, 2016 in Mason City. A victim fled the scene where the 35-year-old Craig had inflicted physical harm and refused to let the victim leave. Mason City police were called and later apprehended Craig. He was charged with felony domestic assault due to the fact he has been charged at least three times earlier with that offense. Due to his alleged act of confining the victim and refusing to allow the victim to leave, he was charged with false imprisonment. Records show Craig entered a not guilty plea, posted $1,000 bond on January 4 and was released from the county jail.
Soon after his release from jail, a social media post Cory Lee Craig apparently wrote gave graphic detail on his possible intentions during the alleged violent incident he was just released from jail for.
“My intentions that evening we’re (sic) never fulfilled,” Craig appears to have posted to his social media. “I was going to shoot use (sic) both in the head but the means to do so was hidden from me thank God.” Police were notified of his statements.
In the weeks and months that followed, Craig and his public defender agreed to court and hearing dates, only to have them postponed. Eventually, on April 24, a warrant for his arrest was issued. Another warrant for his arrest was issued May 24 in a separate case. No court date in his domestic assault case has been set.
Craig remains at-large at this time and is listed as wanted by the sheriff’s office. NIT has information that he may be working a local roofing job at this time. He has faced felony domestic abuse assault at least two times in the past, as well as a host of other crimes. If you spot Cory Lee Craig, call police.
He’s not even in the state of Iowa.
