Ex-Iowa mayor pleads guilty to drunken boating
September 02, 2010 10:15 EDT

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Former Mason City Mayor Roger Bang has pleaded guilty to a charge of operating a boat while intoxicated.

Bang was arrested by an Iowa Department of Natural Resources officer on July 27 on Clear Lake.

The Globe Gazette says Bang entered a written plea of guilty on Wednesday in Cerro Gordo County District Court. Bang was to be arraigned on the charge next week, but that hearing was canceled.

A sentencing date was not immediately set.

The charge is a serious misdemeanor punishable to a fine and up to a year in jail.

Bang served on the Mason City Council for 16 years and was mayor from 2006 through 2009, when he decided not to run again.
