MASON CITY – A Mason City man known about town for his violent outbursts was nabbed by police this weekend for more malfeasance.
According to police, Bryon Sletten, age 47, located by Mason City police on October 19th at 12:45 AM. Police were investigating a report of subjects using drugs behind a lounge at the 200 block of North Federal Avenue. Sletten was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia, cited, and released. Two witnesses told NIT that Sletten was “stabbed with a screwdriver” in an altercation that night.
Sletton is awaiting a Jury trial which begins on November 5th on a serious misdemeanor charge of domestic assault which allegedly involved the impeding of air/blood against the victim. Only in domestic assault cases where the victim suffers “bodily injury” can felony D charges be brought.
Sources told NIT that Sletton’s victim suffered “swelling in neck muscle, bruising various places on body (shoulder, elbow, knees, forearms), muscle tear of previous surgical incision in chest.” The source also said that when the victim called her regular physician, “they directed (her) to the ER.”
Sletton was arrested at about the same time late last year on another violent exchange after a fight in downtown Mason City. Police said that they had witnessed Sletten engaged in an altercation on December 1st, 2012 with a man named John Smith at the 200 block of North Federal Avenue in an alley. Sletten was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Sletton is a convicted felon who has served time in Iowa penitentiaries. He owes the courts thousands of dollars in unpaid fines, fees and restitution. His record includes convictions due to harassment, assault, operating while intoxicated, driving while barred, theft, probation violations and more.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
The judicial system and condescending puke judges are as responsible for this idiot as he is !! 20 years of slapping his wrist.
The bigger picture here is our justice system FAILING to protect society by allowing fat f*ks like this to keep offending with out any real consequences… What’s a citation going to do to an individual who has never held a job longer than receiving
the first paycheck? NOTHING…. What’s the point in a contemp of court law without enforcing it…? NOTHING…
Hell run him for Mayor, he’d fit right in Max an him will make a team!
maybe he was smoking it for medicinal reasons to control his out burst he looks more happy than violent ha
Hmmm. thanks the the real location. What a stretch to call this part of the Cultural Crescent. another poor attempt to influence readers with a fake headline.
He was in the alley behind Sportsman’s bar.
What and where is the “cultural crescent”?
Cultural Crescent is bounded West by S Pennsylvania, North by 1st St NE and Willow Creek, South-East by Willow Creek and E State and East By S Virginia/East Park.
@Duh-I think you are way off on your description of directions. Pennsylvania runs north and south and is on the east side of Federal so it can’t be part of the western boundry. Willow Creek is on the south side of the mall and can not be part of the northern boundry. East state run east and west so it can’t be part of the east boundry and Willow Creek runs diagonal through that part of town once it leaves the library area so it can’t be part of the east boundry. So DUH, get it right or admit you don’t know where it is.
The Cultural Crescent starts where the bars start selling more Gin And Tonic, and less and less Busch Lite, Thats where the line is.
The 200 block of North Federal is NOT the Cultural Crescent. Get your facts straight. I have corrected you once before here, so there is no excuse. If you are going to continue to pretend to be a journalist, at least get our facts straight.
Matt being Matt!
“Cultural Crescent” will drive hits to his website.
People wake up and see Matt for what he really is!
Errr. By typing in the words cultural crecent that will instantly generate viewers n hits? Matt, if that’s true you should be using that in every headline! Don’t you just love all these professional editors?
He looks so happy. Probably because he knows he will be back on the street today. They will just keep turning him loose until he kills someone.
Yes, his boy Zack is a chip off the old shit brick. This family is a bunch of losers.
Weird his son Zac Sletten is a felon just like good ol dad. I believe NIM posted a pic showing Billy Foster also kicked his ass 2 weeks ago.
Looks like he might be missing a few tusks. He better see if Obamacare has a dental plan.
