Jonathan Cody Mobbs, of East Armuchee Road, has been indicted by a Chattooga County Grand Jury in connection with a burglary incident at the Mohawk facility in Lyerly on September 18, 2024.

According to reports, a Chattooga County Deputy responded to a burglary call at the Mohawk plant in Lyerly. Upon arrival, the deputy observed Mobbs fleeing the scene on foot towards a wooded area adjacent to the facility. The deputy gave chase, repeatedly ordering Mobbs to halt and identifying himself as law enforcement. Mobbs allegedly ignored the commands, leading to a foot pursuit through the surrounding woods. The deputy eventually apprehended Mobbs, placing him under arrest for obstruction of law enforcement. Mobbs was Mirandized but chose to remain silent. A witness, an employee of Mohawk, provided further details.

The employee stated upon entering the building he had noticed the lock on the door was tampered with and left open. Upon entering, they discovered Mobbs asleep in the employee’s office chair. The employee stated that Mobbs had ransacked the office with their belongings being scattered on the floor.

Mobbs will now stand trial on charges of second-degree burglary, willful obstruction of law enforcement, and criminal trespass.
