CHARLES CITY – This wanted Charles City man earlier drove his Honda CRV so poorly while he was drunk that he got stuck on railroad tracks, and after he was found guilty, never showed up to jail. However, cops located the unlicensed driver tooling around after 4 AM and delivered him to an ice cold cell.
The trouble for 28-year-old Jonathan David Kerr began back in 2023. Kerr was in Charles City with a listed home address of Muncie, Indiana, clearly getting his party on. On February 19, 2023, at 3:50 AM, officers with the Charles City police department were called to the intersection of Lane Street and North Iowa Street for a vehicle stuck on the railroad tracks. After officers arrived, their investigation revealed a 2004 Honda CRV stuck on railroad tracks and the driver, Jonathan Kerr, under the influence. He was arrested for operating while intoxicated, first-offense. After months of court shenanigans, Kerr finally plead guilty. He was sentenced to two days in jail (with a 90-day limit to complete the sentence), sent to Prairie Ridge for treatment, and ordered to pay Iowa courts $1537.50.
However, Kerr has failed to meet his requirements, and a judge put a warrant out for his arrest due to not going to jail, and, her did not pay off his debt.
On June 16, 2025, at 4:26 AM, Charles City police conducted a traffic stop in the 100 block of Hillside Drive. The driver, Kerr, was arrested on the warrant and cited for failure to have a valid driver’s license and operating without registration. He was taken to jail to serve out his sentence.
