(Spirit Lake)– An Okoboji man is in the Dickinson county jail after allegedly trying to break into a residence.
A criminal complaint says 46-year-old Wesley Swanson was arrested Saturday on a charge of attempted burglary in the 2nd degree, a class “D” felony. Swanson is accused of trying to break into an occupied apartment at 1900 Country Club Drive in Okoboji a little before 4:00 am on June 15th of this year, with the intent to commit a theft. He was also charged with interference with official acts.
The complaint states that Swanson had two valid arrest warrants from Dickinson county, and that when a fully marked patrol vehicle approached him early Saturday on Gordon Drive in Okoboji, Swanson ran, even after being told to stop. The document states that Swanson was eventually taken into custody after being surrounded by other officers.
Court documents also show Swanson has a history of parole violations.
He’s being held in the Dickinson county jail on a $5,000 bond.
