Richmond robber’s luck runs out
16 May 2013 | 4:00 amOtis Mobley Jr. goes before a federal judge Thursday to be sentenced for a case in which he and two accomplices tried to rob men of $1,000 cash in Richmond. There’s nothing too unusual about that — except that the men turned out to be undercover federal agents who thought they were conducting a sting on Mobley. Mobley, in turn, thought the men were illegal arms dealers out to purchase a grenade launcher, who could be robbed of their cash. There’s something else unusual about the case — Mobley, 23, had racked up a long string of gun arrests before the March 2012 incident, which ended…
