Mason City man accused of harboring runaway pleads guilty

MASON CITY — A Mason City man charged with harboring a runaway has changed his plea.

18-year-old Devyn Belseth was charged on December 6th after Mason City police allege that he allowed a 15-year-old girl to stay at his home multiple times after she was reported missing in October.

Belseth’s trial was scheduled to start on April 23^rd, but online court records show that Belseth filed a written plea of guilty on Thursday in Cerro Gordo County District Court.

Judge Karen Salic has set April 15^th for Belseth’s sentencing hearing.
