Pleasantville man arrested in shooting


  • Crime-Courts

A Pleasantville man is jailed in a shooting that happened last week.

Timothy Townsend-Mobley, 29, is charged with aggravated assault and weapons offenses in the May 16 shooting, Capt. Angelo Maldonado said.

Details about the shooting were not released.

A search was conducted Friday with the help of Atlantic County SWAT, Maldonado said.

Police seized numerous firearms and ammunition to include, including two AR-15 style rifles and two handguns, including a “ghost gun,” along with two 50-round drum magazines, multiple extended magazines and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. 

Townsend-Mobley's charges include weapon possession by a certain person not to possess a weapon.

He was given seven years in prison for a 2015 gun case, records show. He also got 18 months for a marijuana charge at that time.

Townsend-Mobley is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility awaiting a detention hearing.

There have now been arrests in all three recent shootings in the city, Maldonado pointed out.

That includes a May 9 shooting that killed a Galloway Township man.

A Galloway man who was on release pending sentencing in a gun case is now charged in that killing.

The most recent shooting that wounded a man last Saturday led to a high-risk stop by State Police on the Atlantic City Expressway.

"All three cases were diligently worked by members of the Pleasantville Police Department to include the outstanding collaborative efforts by the patrol and detective bureaus," he said in a release.
