citizen report of a possible sighting of a man who was wanted for a homicide that
occurred in Michigan, was considered armed and dangerous, and was the subject
of a nationwide manhunt. This sighting was based upon an LCSO Facebook post
that was published about 4 hours prior to the arrest.

Deputies and detectives from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and the Libby

where the fugitive had been seen. Responding officers arrived and contacted the
male who was then identified as Chadwick Shane Mobley. Mobley was arrested
for Homicide – First Degree – Premeditated, Homicide - Felony murder and

Mobley is currently being held in the Lincoln County Detention Center. He will
make an initial appearance in Lincoln County Justice Court and be held pending
