Joshua Glenn Mobley, 34, was charged with burglary, criminal mischief $200 to $1,000, and second degree petit theft.

According to an arrest report, Mobley reached into a pickup truck belonging to “the soon to be ex-husband of this current girlfriend” and poured some a six-pack of sodas that was inside on the driver’s side floorboard and stole the rest.The victim told deputies it would cost $500 to have the truck detailed to cleanup the sods, which was valued at $6.

This stemmed from a domestic dispute issue, which can lead into physical abiuse, up to and including death.
Seems like small time, but remember it takes small bait to catch the bigger fish. There are things no one knows about all of this. Don’t bash because it doesn’t fit the general populations idea of a certain crime. Pablo Escabar only went to jail on tax charges, but look at what else he did and couldn’t be charged bc of the lack of evidence, even though everyone knew he did it.
Can’t stop the ongoing drug trafficking in our neighborhood 24/7 but they have time and the resources to spend on this. I guess it just depends who you know.
The ECSO won’t even enforce no parking in front of west florida high. Between 2:30 and 3:00 cars are right next to the “NO PARKING” sign. followed a deputy right past them Friday, followed him to Waffle house.
Looks like you ignored the major crime concerning drugs.
It’s not just a petty crime. When he’s messed up on drugs and terrorizing a house with his children in it. This “petty crime” usually leads to something more. Drugs are a horrible thing and there’s usually a report of arrests from ECSO for drugs ever. I say good good ECSO for protecting a woman and her babies.
@reader … you complain that ESCO is doing their job? How would you feel if some meth head did that to you? Yes, he’s a method head, as backed up by his felony convictions for drugs and misdemeanor convictions for possession of drug equipment. Personally speaking, the ESCO needs more deputies to help rid the scum from the county. I cant imagine why someone would defend this?
This hero was just defending the honor of his soon to be ex-girlfriend. Now give him 180 days in jail. 30 days for each soda unless it was Mountain Dew (240 days and no soda contact order for ñ). If he poured out this guy’s beer then nothing less than 60 days each.
Hmmm, when my car was stolen a few years ago I had to do most of the investigation on my own. There was never an article looking for the thief, even though I had found out his identity and informed the police.
Trust me, you want ‘broken window’ policing over the alternative. Where I live the cops don’t even chase car thieves. Happy to trade with you.
Whey would the sheriff do a BOLO post looking for someone on such a petty crime. Burglary for opening a truck and opening some sodas? What a big big criminal to get off the street. Glad the sheriff is worried about the important crime.
Thanks NorthEscambia for letting us know what really was supposed to be what happeed.
Not ECSO, go catch some real criminals life drug dealers and wife beaters. Leave this poor man along Sheriff!
