MASON CITY – A man who allegedly forced his way into a North End Mason City home and beat a resident there is now in jail awaiting a court date.
According to Mason City police, Frederick Denbigh Woods, age 18 of Mason City, is accused of forcing his way into an occupied residence in the 100 block of 5th ST NE and assaulting the resident there on December 4th, 2013. The resident’s injuries were not life-threatening. Police filed a felony B first degree burglary charge against Woods on December 9th, and an arrest warrant was issued that day by Judge Ron Wagenaar.
Then, on December 10th, 2013, Mason City police were dispatched at 12:33 AM to Wal-Mart, 4151 4th Street SW, for a disturbance allegedly involving Woods and other subjects. Woods and the other subjects causing the disturbance were gone prior to arrival of police.
After investigating, Woods and the other subjects were located at 604 North Pennsylvania Avenue at about 1:03 AM on the morning of December 10th. Eight Mason City police officers arrived on the scene, along with deputies from the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office. Woods was arrested on the outstanding first degree burglary warrant, but not before hassling police officers.
“Woods was not cooperative initially when confronted by police officers and was also charged with Interference with Official Acts,” officer Mike McKelvey told NIT.
The other subjects were told they are banned from Wal-Mart.
Woods is still being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on $25,000 bond as he awaits a December 20th court date.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
@maybe – According to NIT you could give him your address if you live on the “South End” as there is absolutely no crime on the “South End”… rrright?
Oh wait, in the last 30 days, the “South End” has experienced the following crimes as listed on the CrimeReports map right here on NIT…. 14 Breaking and Entering, 27 theft incidents, 2 Sexual Assaults, 8 Assaults, 6 Drug Offenses, and now curently 26 sex offenders reside on the “South End”. Beware! Better not get out of your car if you break down on this side of town, I hear there are bullets flying over your head after dark. lmao
I live on the north end but I have no problem going to the south end and walk around some.
@concerned-you have it wrong. “Maybe” lives close to Monroe Park which is where I live too. We have had our share of problems up here but it has gotten somewhat better this year. They all moved to the center of town or to the south end.
I should give him my address.
