A Mason City man accused of attacking his girlfriend before setting her house on fire in Floyd County has taken a plea deal, according to KIMT. 33 year old Tyrone Jones has pleaded guilty to one count of Felony Domestic Abuse Assault. As part of the plea deal, charges of arson, theft, and false imprisonment will be dismissed. Investigators say Jones kicked his girlfriend in the face, back, and back of the head before strangling her to the point she lost consciousness. He also burned her with a cigarette and stole two phones before setting her home on fire. The victim said Jones had tied her hands and feet to the bed on a previous occasion.
