A trial has been scheduled for 40-year-old Matthew James Meisheid of Kalona, set for March 21, 2023.

The trial is in regards to two counts of assault on persons in certain occupations by using or displaying a firearm, both class D felonies charged against Meisheid. Charges stem from an incident in July in which officers arrived at Meisheid’s home to enforce the city’s firework ordinance. He subsequently became aggressive, threatening officers and wielding a pistol.

An arrest warrant was sought after following the incident, and led to the seizure of more than one hundred guns from Meisheid’s residence. He was charged, taken to the county jail, and released on a $25,000 bond on July 13.

KCII will have more information as it becomes official.
