Port Charlotte Woman Booked as Fugitive from Justice
Starnisha Fowler, a 22-year-old woman residing in Port Charlotte, was taken into custody by the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office on March 23, 2025, at approximately 143 Lenior NW. The arrest was executed by Deputy D. Balsinger, with Fowler later booked by Officer M. Williams-Wolf. According to booking records, she is charged under Florida Statute 941.02 as a Fugitive from Justice, a serious legal designation that allows for the arrest and detention of individuals wanted in another state.
The statute, part of the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, applies when a person within Florida is alleged to have fled from justice in another state where they are either charged with or convicted of a crime. This charge typically initiates the extradition process, allowing the requesting state to take custody. The record identifies Fowler as a principal in the matter, suggesting she is directly implicated in the out-of-state offense. Details regarding the originating jurisdiction or specific allegations remain undisclosed at this time.
Fowler, described in her booking profile as a 5’3″ Black female weighing 101 pounds, with brown eyes and blonde or strawberry-colored hair, is currently held without bond. No court date has been listed, and there is no information yet regarding her potential extradition or legal representation. She remains confined at the Charlotte County facility pending further action.
Under Florida law, being a fugitive from justice does not inherently imply guilt for a specific crime, but it does trigger formal legal proceedings to determine the legitimacy of extradition. If the request is upheld, Fowler could be transported to the requesting state to face prosecution or sentencing.
This arrest adds to the growing number of fugitive apprehensions handled by the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, reflecting Florida’s commitment to interstate law enforcement cooperation.
