Abigail F. Mobley, 35, of Canyon City was arrested at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Unity, accord- ing to an Oregon State Police report. Mobley pulled over to use the restroom and got stuck in the snow. She stumbled down the road- way and fell down, caus- ing minor abrasions to her face, according to OSP. Witnesses and emer- gency medical personnel contacted her and thought she was intoxicated, OSP said. OSP responded to the Burnt River Market and Motel, and an investiga- tion revealed Mobley had been driving under the influence. She consented to field sobriety tests that showed impairment, OSP said. Mobley was arrested and transported to the Baker County Jail. A blood alcohol test showed a concentration of 0.27%, more than three times the legal limit, according to OSP. Mobley was cited and released to her husband, Undersheriff Zach Mob- ley, at the Baker County Jail, OSP said. Zach Mob- ley made arrangements to remove the vehicle stuck in the snow. Mobley was placed on paid administrative leave by the county March 18. Grant County offi- cials have declined to discuss the circum- stances surrounding the leave or to provide doc- uments requested by the Eagle, stating the informa- tion was part of a “pend- ing criminal investiga- tion being conducted by a third-party state agency.” The Oregon Depart- ment of Justice con- firmed an investigation involving Mobley was still ongoing in Decem- ber, but Communications Director Kristina Edmun- son has not responded to an email from the Eagle sent Jan. 3. Mobley’s wages and benefits cost the county between $5,600 and $7,100 per month, so more than 10 months of admin- istrative leave has cost the county between $58,000 and $75,000. in the fourth degree, criminal mischief, stran- gulation and attempted kidnapping.
