ORDER




This matter comes before the court for trial on the charge of interference with official acts. The state
of Iowa appears by County Attorney Ben Smith. Defendant does not appear nor anyone on his behalf.
The record reflects that the defendant was properly advised of the trial date and has voluntarily
elected not to appear and contest the charge. The court notes that at the time of the defendant's initial
appearance it advised the defendant than in the event that he entered a guilty plea that the court
intended to impose a 10 day jail sentence and rather than accept that plea situation he elected to
plead not guilty so that he could confer with his father about the matter.
This matter then proceeded to trial. Testifying on behalf of the state was Brian Mentzer, the arresting
officer.
Having heard the evidence presented, the court finds that the officer's decision to place handcuffs
on the defendant was well within his discretion in order to secure the scene of his investigation and
to prevent any altercation between the defendant and Tyler Dungan. The court further finds that the
state has met its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant interfered with the
officer's attempt to secure the scene and therefore is guilty of the crime of interference with official
acts.
Because the defendant was not present the court defers sentencing in this case until September 29,
2014 at 11:00 AM. The defendant shall be present at that time.
