Mobley was arrested Monday evening and is charged with felony Possession of a Weapon on School Property. His bond was set at $1,500; however, Mobley posted bond.

Sheriff Eddie Cathey adds, “Bringing a firearm onto a school campus in such a reckless manner is both extremely dangerous and a crime and I am thankful that no one was injured.
