CLEAR LAKE – A Mason City man is guilty of drunk driving earlier this year in Clear Lake.
A Cerro Gordo county deputy conducted a traffic stop at the 2000 block of Highway 18 East at about 12:26 AM Saturday morning, January 28, 2017, when the driver failed to obey a traffic control device. As a result of the stop and investigation, the driver, 24-year-old Brandon Lee Mueller of Mason City was arrested on charges of failing to obey a traffic control device, open container of alcohol, and operating while under the influence.
Mueller later pled guilty to first-offense operating while intoxicated and was ordered to pay $1863.50 in fines and court fees and was sent to jail for two days, as his driver’s license was revoked. The other charges were dropped.
