 “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." Sheriff Eddie Cathey said. 

"Parents who are regularly involved in child custody exchanges should use caution and take advantage of safe, local drop-off points such as the Sheriff’s Office parking lot to ensure their child’s safety as well as their own." Sheriff Cathey added. 

Mobley was released on a $1,500 bond.
