Former Mobile City Councilman William Carroll Arrested on Terrorist Threats Charges

Mobile, AL (BuzzReport) — Former Mobile City Councilman William Carroll has been arrested and charged with making terrorist threats, according to records from the Mobile County Metro Jail.

Carroll was taken into custody Wednesday evening, October 28, after deputies with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office executed an arrest warrant. He was booked into the Mobile County Metro Jail at approximately 7:52 p.m and released on bond.

Jail records indicate Carroll is facing charges related to making terrorist threats. Authorities have not yet publicly disclosed the specific circumstances surrounding the allegations, including what threats were allegedly made or who may have been targeted.

Carroll’s arrest has drawn attention because of his previous role in Mobile city government, where he represented District 2 on the Mobile City Council.

Carroll’s Political Background

Carroll previously served as the District 2 representative on the Mobile City Council, where he was involved in local government and represented residents in the city’s decision-making process.

His tenure on the council came to an end following a re-election defeat to Samantha Ingram, who currently represents District 2.

Investigation Remains Ongoing

As of the latest available information, authorities have not released additional details regarding the allegations against Carroll. It remains unclear what prompted the investigation or whether the alleged threats involved any specific individuals, locations, or public officials.

Additional information is expected as investigators continue working on the case.
