An Iowa City woman with a history of making threats faces charges that she illegally possessed a firearm.
40-year-old Kimberly Mobley was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 2:45 Tuesday afternoon. Iowa City Police say they executed a search warrant on Mobley’s South Dodge Street apartment at 11:30am on October 10th. They claim they found a Smith & Wesson .38 Special revolver hidden inside the pocket of a shirt hanging inside Mobley’s bedroom closet.
Mobley has felony convictions out of Illinois from 2004 and North Carolina from 2014. Both convictions make her ineligible to possess a firearm.
Mobley is charged with Dominion or Control of a Firearm as a Felon. If convicted, she faces a maximum of five years in prison.
Mobley is awaiting a December 12th case management conference on a 3rd Degree Harassment charge stemming from an incident last March at Longfellow Elementary School. Police say Mobley threatened school staffers after she noticed her daughter was not wearing a coat when Mobley arrived to pick her up after school. She also allegedly called an officer who called her about the incident a “little bitch” and hung up.
Mobley was 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.
