Why do liberal Mecklenburg County Judges keep releasing Willie Anthony and other criminals just like him over and over?
Three times in the last 7 months he's been arrested with a gun. He's a convicted felon and by law is not permitted to processes a firearm.
If he was prosecuted under Federal Law and convicted he would not see the light of day for ten years.
If he has three prior felony convictions for violent crimes or serious drug offenses, the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) (18 U.S.C. § 924(e)) mandates a minimum 15-year prison sentence without parole.
Why are North Carolina courts so lenient?
Anthony's recent criminal history follows and we are leaving the best arrest for last. Like they say...... wait for it.

On 03/25/2025 at approximately 1905 hours, Officer Epalito #5518, observed gray Audi Q5 SUV unsafely cut across lanes of traffic on I-85 South just prior to Brookshire Blvd to take that exit. conducted traffic stop on this vehicle as it backed up into parking spot at 220 Hoskins Rd. Because of this, was nose-to-nose with the Audi when stopped it allowing for clear view into the front windshield of the car.
As was approaching the car on foot, could clearly see driver, Willie Anthony, manipulating an object in the front of his waistband but it underneath the front dashboard and out of view from officers. then observed Anthony throw an apparent
firearm over his shoulder and into the trunk of the SUV. Due to the firearm in the vehicle, I immediately removed all three subjects from the car to conduct weapons frisk/probable cause search. Anthony was found to have an empty gun holster in the front of his waistband.
I located a firearm sitting in the trunk. The only other item ick there were some clothes. This is the firearm that I observed Anthony throwing. Anthony does not have permit to carry a concealed gun. Anthony is convicted felon out of Mecklenburg County
It was multicolor 9mm pistol of unknown make and model with serial number CAAN691. It appears to be Glock but has an aftermarket slide that does not have the make or model imprinted on it.
On 08/14/2019, Anthony was charged with Conspiracy Robbery with Dangerous Weapon, class felony (15 to 63 months). He was convicted on 11/20/2020 in Mecklenburg County Superior Court, North Carolina. He plead guilty and received active time of 22-39 months.
Anthony was read his Miranda Rights and he agreed to speak with me. He stated it was his sisters gun, then stated it belonged to his girlfriend. He said he didn't throw anything, and then said he threw his phone. He stated that the gun holster in his front waistband is for cellphone. The cellphone he was carrying is too big to fit in the holster.
Anthony is being charged with Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon and Misdemeanor Carrying Concealed Gun.
