The mother of a Longfellow Elementary student faces charges that she threatened staff at the school.
According to Iowa City Police, 39-year-old Kimberly Mobley of South Dodge Street was picking up her daughter from Longfellow just after 1:15pm on March 8th after staff at the Seymour Avenue school said her child had fallen ill. When Mobley arrived, she noticed her daughter was waiting outside without a coat. Mobley allegedly started yelling at the nurse…who was standing with her daughter…calling her a “bitch”. Another school employee came outside to help the nurse, and reported hearing Mobley yell, “F— you and this school! I f—ing don’t care if I am trespassing! I don’t f—ing care what you are even saying!”
When Mobley was asked to leave the property, she reportedly yelled, “You f—ing white bitch! I am going to get you, you f—ing white bitch!”
When police later contacted Mobley via phone, she reportedly called the officer a “little bitch” and hung up.
Mobley was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 4:15 Thursday afternoon and charged with 2nd Degree Harassment. If convicted, she faces a maximum of one year in jail.
Mobley was given a suspended sentence last year after a June 2021 incident at City High involving another one of her children. Police say she yelled racial epithets at other students in the parking lot and encouraged her son to fight them once they were inside the school. One student suffered a concussion after they were attacked by the son a short time later.
