CHARLES CITY – Three alleged not-so-smooth criminals made a thrilling night for residents of a Charles City home Tuesday evening.
Charles City police report that Tuesday evening at about 9:27 PM, a 911 call was received from a person at house in the 400 block of B Street, hiding in the closet. There were three armed intruders in the house that wanted to be starting something. Two residents that were there when the invaders arrived were able to beat it out of the house before things went bad and got even more dangerous.
Officers responded and found the three individuals inside the house who did not live there. Two residents of the house were able to leave the residence at the beginning of the escapade and go to a local business where one was transported to the hospital for medical care. The officers were able to take the three males into custody at the residence. Arrested were Michael Jackson, age 19; DeAngelo Hawkins, age 20; and Andre Johnson, age 29. All three men were arrested and charged with first-degree burglary and interference with official acts.
Charles City police also stated that they “want to reassure the public that this residence was not chosen at random.”
They thanked the Floyd county sheriff’s office and the Nora Springs Police Department for their assistance.
When seconds count police are minutes or hours away. Obviously we have to be well armed for self defense. Just because police claim this wasn’t random doesn’t make the rest of us safe. It could be they heard someone had money and invaded the home for that reason.
Really would like the names of the land um slum lords who are housing these people. This shit has got to stop.
It’s the city government….and the state providing these apartments at low cost or no cost subsidies. So what you have there are people who use drugs and don’t work (because they have figured out how to beat the system). This is in regard to the 2100 Clarkview area. Not sure if these 3 are from that or not. But it’s all related because city officials sent teams of people to Chicago to help get these people to come here to make CC have more “diversity” in it’s population. That is why there are so many references like “send them back to Chicago”. It’s not racial. it’s what actually happened.
True story
They were just misunderstood. They are part of RAGBRAI and were looking for a place to stay and party.
why would Nora Springs be involved in any way??
Chitcago rejects.
Gee. Who would’ve guessed. Thanks Obama.
Too bad the cops didn’t shoot all 3 of them dead.
Soon to be city council members.
Holy shit !
Spoooooky!
Mayor Erb doesn’t care, RAGBRAI is here!
