MASON CITY – A Mason City unsuccessfully ran from police as a search warrant was executed at a house in connection to a burglary in Manly.
On January 24, 2019 the Worth County Sheriff’s Office took a report of a Burglary in rural Worth County near Manly. At a later date a witness came forward with information on the burglary. The witness said 18-year-old Tirrell Hopkins of Mason City was involved in the burglary.
On February 4, 2019 the Worth County Sheriff’s Office along with the Mason City Police Department executed a search warrant in the 600 block of 13th Street NE in Mason City, at the residence of Hopkins. When officers arrived and made entry to the residence, Hopkins took off on foot. Officers gave chase and the suspect was soon taken into custody in the 700 block of 11th Street NE.
Hopkins is charged with Burglary 3rd Degree and Interference with Official Acts. Records show he has been released from jail.
Hopkins is on probation after a drug charge brought by Mason City police this past summer. He was given a deferred judgement as a more serious felony charge of possession of contraband in a jail was dismissed. He is now facing a probation violation.
