March 13, 2026 – Charlotte County, FL
A Charlotte County violent offender with multiple arrests will serve 25 years in prison after pleading No Contest to various charges.
On March 11, 2026, Anthony Mojica (3/17/2005) stood in a Charlotte County courtroom for sentencing after pleading Nolo-Contendere on multiple charges. The Honorable Judge Shannon McFee announced that Mojica will serve 25 years in prison, which is the mandatory minimum for his charge of Trafficking in Fentanyl, plus five years of probation upon release. He will not receive credit for time already served.
Mojica has been well-known to law enforcement in Charlotte County, both with CCSO and with the Punta Gorda Police Department, with engagements dating back to 2018 when he was just 13 years old. Mojica’s first felony arrest with CCSO came in 2019, with three drug-related felonies and two misdemeanors (including resisting arrest) in that particular incident.

Following two separate instances of Mojica absconding from his residential commitment (running away from a mandated facility) in March 2022, Mojica found himself under arrest again in April 2022 on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for firing a gun from a vehicle at another person, as well as on additional drug-related charges and again resisting arrest. He was then re-arrested in April 2022, less than three weeks later, for possession of controlled substance and violation of probation. He then failed to appear for a court hearing in June, absconded again in July, and violated probation in October.

“When I say that we are not playing games with these people who think they can get away with anything and endanger our community with their reckless behaviors, I mean that. This young man has been a problem for far too long, with many opportunities to turn his life around, and now the consequences have caught up to him. I thank my deputies and detectives for all of their hard work to take this constant nuisance and dangerous young man off the streets. Let this be a clear message to any others who are living this kind of life – we don’t mess around. Your time is coming, too.”
