Mobley arrested for driving drunk
OSP: Grant County
deputy on leave
had blood alcohol
content three times
legal limit
Blue Mountain Eagle
The Grant County Sher-
iff’s Office deputy who
has been on paid leave for
almost a year was arrested
for driving drunk Saturday.
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.
