Suspect in firearms and drug case fails to appear in court

Mobley

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 34-year-old man arrested a week ago on drug and other charges was scheduled for court Wednesday for the formal reading of charges but was a no-show.

Lucas Mobley and 60-year-old Murray Mobley are both accused of pointing a gun at the officers. In both cases, they were ordered to drop the weapons after repeated warnings — both finally did.

Lucas Mobley was seen near a shed in the 2400 block of Broadacres in South Hutchinson, which led to a search of that shed. Officers found the modified shotgun and other gun parts, as well as drugs, including 4.5 grams of methamphetamine, a digital scale and drug paraphernalia.

Murray Mobley was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer and felony interference. He made a first appearance on the charges against him Tuesday.

Lucas Mobley was arrested for criminal use of a firearm, that being the shotgun with a barrel under 18 inches, possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia with intent to distribute, possession of methamphetamine, personal use drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm by someone addicted to meth and an unlawful user of a controlled substance.

With Lucas Mobley failing to appear in court, Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen issued a warrant for his arrest with a $50,000 bond.
