Fugitive in jail, missing daughter turns self in

A man wanted for two felony offenses and his 14-year-old daughter, listed as missing but believed to be with the man identified as her father, are in custody after his arrest and her decision to surrender to authorities.

Kyle Mobley, 50, was arrested Tuesday morning by the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team in an alley on Fountain Avenue. Agents were checking the area because Mobley, who is homeless, reportedly stayed in various vacant houses there.

He remained in the Montgomery County Jail on Wednesday night, charged with felony sexual battery for an incident that occurred sometime between October 2011 and September 2012, and robbery involving an incident that occurred in August.

Sgt. Larry Tolpin, with the Dayton police Special Victim’s Unit, said the sexual battery charge involves more than one offense against a single juvenile victim.

Mobley’s daughter, a runaway sought by Trotwood police, turned herself in Tuesday evening at the Montgomery County Juvenile Justice Center.

The child had been missing since Oct. 1 when she ran away from her foster home in Trotwood. Police updated her status to endangered missing when they learned she could be with her father.

She remains there on possible charges of delinquency by reason of obstruction and delinquency by reason of being an unruly juvenile, according to a Dayton police incident report obtained Wednesday afternoon. That report also indicated that the child would be detained at the juvenile facility because she told authorities she would run away again if she is returned to foster care.
