ROCKWELL – A Mason City man successfully – for now – eluded police after a high-speed chase.
On January 30, 2022 at 2043 hours a Cerro Gordo county deputy observed 34-year-old Jared Scott Schneckloth of Mason City operating a 2013 Mercedes Benz C300 near Fin and Feather Lake, 16638 230th Street. Schneckloth has three active warrants for his arrest from Council Bluffs, Woodbury County, and Plymouth County all for failure to appear for driving while barred. Schneckloth’s Iowa driver’s license is barred. Schneckloth immediately fled from the deputy and a vehicle pursuit began. The pursuit started near Quail Avenue and 220th Street and continued south on Quail Avenue at speeds over 110 MPH. The pursuit entered Rockwell where the deputy lost sight of Schneckloth’s vehicle. A short while later, the vehicle was located unoccupied on the south end of Rockwell. An extensive search for Schneckloth was completed but he was unable to be located. Schneckloth is being charged with eluding and driving while barred both aggravated misdemeanors in this incident.
Anyone with information on Schneckloth’s whereabouts are encouraged to contact law enforcement.
