Man arrested

A Chester man got stuck in a yard in Lockhart Wednesday after he allegedly tried to steal a utility trailer.

Zeddie Dewey Mobley Jr., 41, of 2400 Pressley Road, was charged by the Union County Sheriff’s Office with larceny. He was charged by the Highway Patrol with driving under the influence.

A report said the victim on 129 Skyview Drive, Lockhart, heard a vehicle spinning its wheels in his yard. Then he heard a loud bang behind his home.

He went outside and saw a white 1995 GMC van spinning its wheels. He asked the man driving the van, Mobley, what he was doing. Mobley said he was turning around and got stuck. The victim then noticed his utility trailer was gone. He asked Mobley about it and Mobley said he thought he hit it trying to get out.

Neighbors arrived and said they saw the trailer roll off a large drop off near the house they said Mobley had the trailer hooked up to his van and was trying to take it but he got the van stuck in the wet grass. They saw him unhook the trailer and try to leave.

The victim had called the Highway Patrol when he thought Mobley hit the vehicle. When he heard it was trying to take it, deputies were called.

The victim said the trailer had a lock on it but the lock was gone.

Damage to the trailer was estimated at $300.
