Man arrested after standoff on Mason City's north side
|
|
MASON CITY --- A Mason City man charged with breaking into a synagogue and stealing sound equipment earlier this year is under arrest again, this time after a standoff on the city’s north side Thursday night. 39-year-old William O’Dell has been arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and domestic assault. Mason City police say in a news release that they received a report of a domestic situation in the 15-hundred block of North Madison. After further investigation, it was discovered that O’Dell, who is a convicted felon, was in possession of a firearm, which is illegal. Officers attempted to serve criminal citations but didn’t receive any response, with officers later determining that he had barricaded himself inside the house at 1514 North Madison. At around 8:30 PM, members of the North Central Iowa Narcotics Drug Task Force Special Operations Group and Iowa State Patrol negotiators made contact with O’Dell. O’Dell then surrendered without incident and was taken to the Cerro Gordo County Jail where he remains on $5-thousand bond. O’Dell was also arrested in late June in connection with the June 5th break-in at the Adas Israel Synagogue and is charged with second-degree theft. O’Dell has pleaded not guilty to that charge and his trial on that charge is set for September 13th.
