Mason City man jailed on stalking, assault charges

MASON CITY — A Mason City man is in jail on assault and stalking charges after two separate incidents in the last month.

38-year-old Jamie Evenson was arrested on Thursday on one charge of stalking in violation of a no contact order, a Class C felony, as well as three counts of contempt of court in violation of the no contact order and two counts of assault causing bodily injury.

Criminal complaints state that Evenson allegedly has shown up at the Casey’s convenience store on at least two separate occasions, violating the no contact order against a female, and has assaulted store employees, thrown rocks through windows at different locations that he believes the female is at, and sending multiple text messages threatening the female on a daily basis.

An arrest warrant was issued for Evenson’s arrest on Tuesday, with Mason City police taking him into custody on Thursday. He’s being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on a total of $12,000 cash-only bond.
