Taylor man receives 50-year prison sentence

A Taylor man is scheduled to spend the next five decades in prison for possession of methamphetamine.

Dean Anthony Mojica, 59, was found guilty by a Williamson County Jury on Thursday, Aug. 14, and received a 50-year prison sentence for the crime. The verdict and sentencing followed a trial in the 277^th District Court, presided over by Judge Rick Kennon.

"Drug dealing is a cancer on our community," said Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick. "Drug dealing leads to thefts, burglaries, assaults, rapes and murder. We have seen this impact firsthand over the last several years in Williamson County.”
