When Deputies arrived, they located a male victim who had been assaulted by a suspect armed with a shotgun. The victim sustained minor injuries from the altercation that resulted when the victim confronted the suspect outside the residence.

At 9:21 pm Meskwaki Police Officers located Benjamin Kutzner at the Meskwaki Trading Post in Tama County. Kutzner was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail without incident.
Benjamin Larry Kutzner was charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Harassment 1st Degree, Going Armed with Intent, and Reckless Use of a Firearm.
