MASON CITY – A convicted bike thief wanted on arrest warrants tried to flee cops Tuesday night – on a bike – but just couldn’t peddle fast enough to keep his freedom.
A Mason City police officer observed a subject who had warrants for his arrest late Tuesday evening, June 13 at the 400 block of South Federal Avenue (Yes Way). Police say the man, 36-year-old Ryan David Ihde, attempted to flee the area on a bicycle. Cerro GOrdo county deputies also responded, and Ihde was subdued by multiple officers. Ihde was wanted on three arrest warrants, according to the county’s most-wanted list. He was taken into custody on new charges of interference with official acts and fourth-degree theft.
Ihde remains in the county jail on bond, awaiting a court date. He was arrested last September on a felony second-degree theft charge when he was caught with stolen bikes after police had served a search warrant at 330 South Pennsylvania, Apartment #4 on September 15, 2016. Ihde was later guilty of the crime and in a March plea deal, was given a suspended fine, 3 years of probation, suspended prison sentence of 5 years, and 180 days in the Beje Clark halfway house.
His last mugshot had long, flowing, locks of hair. What happened?
Hung out with him all the time in our younger years. Was a cool kid but went down the wrong road
