MASON CITY – A Worth county man wanted on an out-of-county warrant was brought to jail after a traffic violation led to his arrest.
Nicolas William Oppman, age 36 of Manly, was tooling around Mason City after 2 AM on the morning of June 9, possibly breaking laws as he did so. A Mason City police officer spotted him traveling above the speed limit, leading the officer to attempt a traffic stop. However, Oppman allegedly failed to stop immediately. Eventually, Oppman’s vehicle stopped near President Avenue and 8th Street SW. After an investigation, Oppman was arrested for speeding, driving with a suspended license, eluding, operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent, and a warrant out of Webster county for disorderly conduct.
Oppman was taken to jail and soon released, pending June 27 arraignment.
Just one day prior, Oppman was arrested by Mason City police for trespassing. He pled guilty immediately and was fined. He was also guilty in May of disorderly conduct – fighting or violent behavior, again from a charge by Mason City police.
Oppman was sent to prison back in January of 2014 after a felony conviction for forgery. He was paroled in May of 2016.
Anyone not brave enough to reveal their name has issues themselves.. I’m not ashamed of this situation, it’s tragic. This is not an isolated situation. It’s rampant everywhere. I am trying to bring awareness and seek out solutions to remedy a horrific condition in our society. We should all do our best to be a part of the solution. Not sit back and pass judgement.
“I am trying to bring awareness and seek out solutions to remedy a horrific condition in our society.”
So, just to be clear, what have you done before, and what are you doing since I made my initial comment. People are paid thousands of dollars to do what you say you are doing, so how’s that going. There is to much money in the drug trade to ever stop (it). Take care of your family, and don’t waste your time on everybody else, it’s not going to help. The only way any drug user is ever going to stop, is if they (want) to.
Your comments have an undertone of a mutual connection. If you know all about this situation then you should know me. So why not contact me? Talk to me, up front. I can debate this issue all day long. What entitlement do you carry and what personal satisfaction of revenge are you getting out of using a format such as this for public shaming? Our family can’t be hurt anymore than it already is. We’re losing a family member here. What have I done to remedy this situation? All that I can, with no anonymity, I’m open to share our story, bring awareness in an effort to reach out to others. I don’t need thousands of dollars to justify my efforts. Its called compassion and caring for other human beings. The question is, what are you doing other than ranting about it? Where is that getting you? If you truly know all about this, talk to me, otherwise find a way of resolving your own frustrations. If you arent part of the solution, then your part of the problem. Maybe that’s what this debate is really about.
It’s not about drug use, it’s about ripping off hard working tax paying people. In my original post I did not mention drugs at all. That was brought up by another, possibly knowing poster. Then you compounded the situation by admitting drug use, then continued on and on about it. My intent was to let other readers on this site know that this person just doesn’t break the law, he steals from people, knowing that he can never pay them back. Other then your son, if someone stole from you, wouldn’t you be upset and want others to know about it, and who the thief was. I’m not going to debate with you any more about this, I’ve said all I’m going to say. You can have the last word. Have a nice day….
You are the one who commented to the anonymous reply about meth, showing your frustration about a situation you do NOT know anything about. It’s not just wrong, it’s criminal that he ripped anyone off at all! He’s stolen more from his own hard-working tax paying family members than anyone else. It’s his own mother who continually alerts the law, says no to his pleas for help, alerts the public through the local television station out of the concern for others safety, fights with the system trying to get numerous commitals into institutions and signed the testimony that landed him in prison. So dont ever accuse me of enabling in anyway. The next time you take it upon yourself to ostracize someone in public, be sure to get all of your facts straight before stumbling up on that soapbox. Getting in the last word over you is the very least of my concerns. I have much more important venues for expending my energy.
Allen, this “loser” is my son who has been battling mental health and drug addiction for 18 years. He told me of different people who tried to reach out to him and help or feed him. He was grateful, as am I. Thank you. ” Judge not lest ye be judged. Prayers for you. God bless.
Save your time and prayers as I don’t want them. I am ready to except whatever is coming to me, as I know who I am, and what I have done in my life, good and bad. You can’t help a person, unless that person (really) wants help. After 18 years, I would conclude that your son doesn’t want help, as I have seen it before, they are happy where they are at. In those 18 years what have you done, other then enable him, yes, I know mothers do that, but it isn’t helping. It’s one thing to take help/handouts from people, but when you knowingly rip people off that’s different. He obviously knows what he is doing, because he continues to do it. So again, keep your prayers and give them to somebody that really needs them.
I agree he may not want help but you have no clue what our family has been through or Nic himself. I’ll never surrender defeat or stop praying for people like yourself. Who need them the most.
Oh, but I do know……
Allen, this “loser” is my son who has been battling mental health and drug problems for 18 years. He told me of different people who reached out to help him and feed him when he’s been homeless and on the streets. He was grateful for your generosity as am I. Thank you. “Judge not, lest he be judged. God bless you.sasa
This guy is your basic loser. Owes a lot of people money, even ones that try and help him out. As for the fine, forget it, it will never get paid. But somehow, he has money for a cell phone, as most losers do.
And money for meth.
I was going to say that, but I wasn’t quite sure what his drug of choice was. But now that I think about it, it’s probably anything he can get his hands on, that’s free.
