RCSD provides update on overnight home invasion

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott is announcing the arrest of 45-year-old Antoine Mobley for a home invasion overnight.

Around  9:00 p.m. Saturday, deputies say they were dispatched to the 10 block of King Arthur Ct. for a home invasion.

Upon arrival, deputies learned the suspect had fled and K9 deputies began to track the suspect, who was determined to be out on bond with an ankle monitor.

Deputies located the suspect inside a vacant residence located at the 200 block of Westbridge Road, where he had barricaded himself inside one of the rooms.

Despite many commands to get Mobley, to peacefully exit, he continually made threats to kill deputies and to burn the house down with deputies inside.

While deputies attempted to talk to Mobley, he opened the door and threw an object that he had set on fire at K-9 Specialist Cody Sox, at which time he fired one shot at Mobley.

Negotiators say they arrived on scene and attempted to communicate with Mobley, to no avail. He then threatened the use of multiple gallons of gasoline along with the fire.

The Special Response Team was successful in using less lethal tactics to get Mobley to exit.
But, as he began to exit, he changed his mind and tried to go back in the home.

Deputies say K9 Nevada was then able to apprehend him before being taken into custody.

Mobley was transported to a local hospital where it was determined that he was not hit by gunfire.

Mobley is being charged with Attempted Murder, Burglary 1st Degree, Burglary 2nd Degree, and Breach of Peace of a High and Aggravated Nature.

He will be transported to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center once he is released from the hospital.
