NORTHWOOD – A North Iowa man who committed a vicious stabbing in Northwood has been sentenced to prison for 25 years.

A jury in Bremer county found Trotter guilty of felony B attempted murder and felony B first-degree burglary. He was sentenced this week to 25 years in prison.
hey, you people bitch about the criminal african american males all over the area but you keep funding the law enforcement and voting for the sherrif that dont do anything about the black male problem….. its obvious that local law enforcement is working with and letting the nigs do whatever they want to around here. they almost murder a guy at northside this winter and ZERO CHARGES? give me a break. yes the african american male crime issue is scary and dangerous but whats even more so? the pattern thats emerging of our local law enforcement letting them get away with anything and everything, gotta wonder if they dont protecttheir dope shipments and take out the competition too. there is absolutley some serious corruption in our leo and they are cooperating with detroit and chicago gang members, or at least thats how their actions and responses and behavior are making it look. if you know a criminal african maybe report them…. oh wait you cant report people named boo boo and d and lil gimp. in reality the most efficient way to end the detroit chicago scumbag issue would be vigil ante justice, the citizens know more about this town and actually want to stop the flow of heroin and meth. the cops probably make good money off of it.
“letting the nigs do whatever they want to around here”
Sounds like White supremacists speak. Getting over the line!
Sorry Bud! It is nothing to do with law enforcement! IT is the Judges and lawyers that keep letting these scumbags out! Judges give them a slap on their hands and lawyers keep working with those judges to give them plea deals!
Slum lord Russel Hardy brought him here just like the rest of of his garbage he brings to Mason City!
Disagree. He’s actually a smart businessman who improved a lot of areas of town. Those tenants will live somewhere, he happens to own a lot of houses. Blame Beje Clark for the trash in town, not Mr. Hardy. You could also blame our so-called city leadership over the years that allowed our neighborhoods to deteriorate while they sprayed cash all over that lame downtown.
no, russ’s properties are by and large dilapadated and gross. he’s attempted to walk in on female tenants several times over the years. he is a piece of shit and you know it. why dont you try talking to people around mason city instead of making up total fallacies about the man? does he have a single property that isnt ramshackle and ghetto? i didnt think so. his employees have been known to enter tenant homes and steal if you actually ask real people from mason city and not yuppies with feel good opinions about this town you will get a real picture of russ hardy the slum lord. i myself have never been low enough or broke enough or desperate enough to have to rent from him or any of the other shotty mason city landlords but i have partied in a lot of hardy shitholes.
Smart businessmam??? He must be paying you good money to say that about our number one slum lord in Mason city! He pays his help minimum wages and i have personally seen his help paint one of his properties in the rain!!! Have you seen the property around his so called office? DISSCUSTING! Junk everywhere! Go check out the building across the post office to the south of it on the corner and look inside!!! All garbage inside it! But the SOB lives in asbury!
The man’s a millionaire I’m betting. What laws did he break? Seriously, what he’s doing fits in in MC. The whole town is a mess, if he’s got a few locations that needs help, hell, look around. You don’t get out much, do you? Go to a real city that’s got it together, it won’t resemble MC. Pretty much every square mile here has weeds and run-down houses, buildings – it’s rampant. The community as a whole is filled with miscreants who refuse to touch a lawnmower, pull a weed or pick up their cigarette butts. There’s a culture problem in MC. Starts with the leadership not just in city hall but all over town.
“also blame our so-called city leadership over the years that allowed our neighborhoods to deteriorate while they sprayed cash all over that lame downtown.”
Here’s a thought, why don’t you run for city council and get some improvements done.
Oh snap, you tried that twice and got yoour butt handed to you both times.
First by the stupidest person to ever sit on the MC city council, one Janet Solberg.
The the second time by an old retread, one John Jaszewski.
That tired old insult again? zzzzz. Solberg ain’t dumb, she’s a moron, but she can eat a free cookie from Robin better than anyone I ever seen. Big difference. Jazzy made a hell of a janitor over in Garner I’m told – he made the toilets shine. Ya they beat me in real close (rigged) elections, one had irregularities in Ward 4. (Who stole the ballots?) They had to stoop to lies in mass-mailing flyers with tons of help from the desperate Chamber crowd. I spent a few hundred bucks, knocked doors and bowed to no one.
They should have just shot him on the spot and saved us a bunch of money. These A-Holes from Deadtroit and Chitcago need to be run out of our area. You can thank the slum lords like Russ Hardy for them being here.
WHY? Why is it that all the newspapers and news media always say Mason city, Northwood, Charles City and son on when we all know these cockroaches are from either Chicago or Detroit? Come here and sell drugs and live off taxpayers! They are making all abiding citizens of these communities look bad! GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND STAY AWAY!!!
another northwood norwegian
He’s along way from being Norwegian, but obviously from your side of the tree.
That was sarcasm, monkey brains.
