An African-American pizza delivery driver in Jonesboro, Arkansas, is now facing eight counts of stalking and harassment, filed by local police officers—the same officers who repeatedly pulled him over during his deliveries.
The driver, Christian Mobley, claims he has been the victim of racially motivated targeting and harassment by Jonesboro police for nearly two years. To prove his side of the story, he began sharing police body cam and dash cam footage online—a move that he says led directly to the criminal charges.
A History of Traffic Stops Without Citations
Mobley’s first recorded police encounter happened in June 2023, when he was stopped for a broken brake light. He says the situation escalated when he refused a police request to search his car, even though no drugs or illegal items were found.
Since then, Mobley claims he has been stopped or detained at least seven times by police while working his delivery job. In many of these cases, he says he was not issued any ticket or citation, raising concerns about whether the stops were legitimate.
In one instance, Mobley was even arrested for allegedly failing to use a turn signal—but video evidence suggests he did signal properly.
Taking the Fight Online
Feeling frustrated and fearful, Mobley decided to take action. He filed a request for police body cam footage and began uploading it to his YouTube channel. He wanted the public to see what he believed was unfair treatment.
On April 8, 2025, a popular YouTube channel called The Random Patriot featured Mobley’s encounters in a video that went viral, receiving over 59,000 views.
Arrested One Day After Viral Video
Just one day after the video was published, Mobley was arrested at his workplace. Police served an active warrant for eight counts each of stalking and harassment, with all charges filed by the eight officers featured in his videos.
Mobley was jailed for eight hours before being released on a $10,000 surety bond. The court has also issued a no-contact order, which bars him from interacting with the officers who filed the charges.
Fundraising and Legal Fight
Mobley has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for his legal defense, claiming that these charges are retaliation for exposing the police on social media. So far, he has raised over $11,000 from supporters who believe he is being unfairly targeted.
He maintains that the charges are meant to silence and intimidate him for exercising his right to share public records and hold police accountable.
