Off-duty Columbus State University police officer arrested in domestic incident
A Columbus State University police officer is in the Muscogee County Jail Friday following a domestic incident.
The incident occurred in the evening hours of Thursday, May 21, 2026, at a Columbus home.
Muscogee County jail records indicate Weston Mobley, age 41, was booked into the Muscogee County Jail for charges of cruelty to children in the third degree and battery-family violence.
Mobley appeared in court this morning and remains in the county jail on a $2,500 bond. If released, Mobley has been ordered to have no violent or harassing contact with those involved in the incident.
Mobley got promoted to corporal two months ago.
CNAW2News.com reached out to the university for a statement. The university said in a statement they were aware of “an incident involving one of our officers while he was off duty yesterday.”
“We cannot comment on a Columbus Police Department investigation, or on personnel matter beyond the fact that he has been placed on administrative leave,” a university spokesman said.
CNAW2News.com has filed an open records request for information surrounding the case. A mugshot has not yet been uploaded to the jail website.
