The former Floyd County Attorney who was thrown out of office four years ago is in legal trouble again. Cerro Gordo County authorities arrested Jesse Marzen early Saturday after finding him in his vehicle in a ditch southeast of Mason City. Marzen was charged with operating while intoxicated and having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle.

In 2010, Marzen lost his job as the Floyd County Attorney after the Iowa Supreme Court suspended his law license. The Supreme Court said he broke the rules when he had a sexual relationship with a client prior to being elected as county attorney in November 2006.
