Probations revoked, man sentenced to ADC

Probation was revoked on Friday for a Forrest City man who has a lengthy criminal history involving drugs.

St. Francis County Circuit Court documents show that Kirk Mosby, 56, was sentenced to a total of 30 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections.

Mosby’s criminal history involving drugs dates back to at least 1995 when he was charged with manufacturing, delivery and possession of a controlled substance, meth. That charge was nolle prosequi after Mosby pleaded not guilty.

In 2008, Mosby was arrested for possession of firearms by certain persons, a charge which was also nolle prosequi after he pleaded not guilty. Later in 2008, Mosby pleaded guilty to terroristic threatening for which he was placed on five years probation.

In 2016, Mosby was arrested for possession with purpose to deliver a controlled substance to which he pleaded guilty and was given a five-year suspended imposition of sentence and fined $1,000. At that time, charges of possession of drug paraphernalia to manufacture a controlled substance and an unclassified revocation offense were nolle prosequi, according to court records.

Mosby was given another five-year suspended sentence in 2017 after pleading guilty to possession with purpose to deliver a controlled substance. He pleaded not guilty to charges of enhanced proximity and possession of drug paraphernalia along with a habitual offender enhancement, which were then nolle prosequi. In addition to the SIS, he was fined $1,000.

In September last year, Mosby was arrested again on charges involving meth and heroin, with a habitual offender enhancement added for “eight other felony convictions,” court records show.

Mosby was sentenced to 20 years in state prison for two counts of delivery of methamphetamine or cocaine and fined $20,000 from the September 2021 charges. His probation was revoked for the 2016 and 2017 cases, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison for each, giving him a total sentence of 30 years in the ADC. He was also fined $10,000 each in the 2016 and 2017 cases, making his total fine $40,000.
