MASON CITY – A man who routinely finds himself behind bars for alcohol-related offenses found himself on the wrong side of the law yet again, this time Monday night in the Cultural Crescent.
Police told NIT that citizens were awakened by 33-year-old Dustin Snowbird pounding on a door at a residence in the 100 block of South Penn at 1:15 AM on May 26th, 2014. A Mason City police officer and a Cerro Gordo deputy responded to find Snowbird, apparently intoxicated, lying on the porch. Officers spoke to Snowbird who refused to cooperate and grew disorderly again and refused to cooperate with the officers’ requests. Officers placed Snowbird under arrest. In the process, Snowbird allegedly spat at the officer(s).
Snowbird also “continually made threats that he would basically get revenge for being arrested,” police said.
Snowbird was charged with public intoxication, 3rd or subsequent offense; second degree harassment; assault on a peace officer; and interference with official acts.
Snowbird was taken to jail, where he remains at this time.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

I’m not from Mason City but I am sort of familiar with the town. Where and what is the cultural crescent? It sounds kind of artsy-fartsy, lad-di-dah. But any story I ever read about it involves people passing out or peeing on stuff or being drunk and disorderly. Is it just an odd named bar?
I know, lets just wait until he really goes off and steals a gun, or even worse, gets a hold of a knife and kills someone. Get him some help or lock him up.
Serial killers, Rapists, and Pedophiles need to be locked up. This man seriously and obviously needs Medical attention and the courts sit on their little pita stools and think of themselves only.
Mason City’s Mental Health Services at its best. Why isn’t this guy in a mental health group? or on Meds? Are you all just waiting for him to kill someone first? Is his money more important than someone’s life? because that’s exactly what is going to happen if you don’t get him help or put him away and it best not be one of my family or friends because I’ll be sueing your asses for not stepping up to begin with!
