A man who vanished back in October after being accused of horrific crimes in Wisconsin was just arrested in Florida, where he allegedly provided cops with a fraudulent ID.
The long arm of the law caught up to Noah Czarneski over the weekend in Fort Myers, where he remains pending his extradition.
Czarneski, now 20, was 19 when he was reported missing from Little Chute by family who told authorities they hadn’t seen or heard from him since October 5, 2025.
Czarneski was arrested on Sunday, March 29, at around 6 a.m., according to information from police and online jail records.
He is due to appear in court on April 14 at 8 a.m. in Lee County for one count of providing false identification to a law enforcement officer. Police did not detail the circumstances surrounding his alleged crime.
A North Carolina teen who had been missing for nearly a month was rescued over the weekend from a man’s car in Florida, authorities said. A deputy discovered the 16-year-old girl inside Joshua Magraff’s car after he pulled Magraff over for allegedly speeding along U.S. Route 17 near Crescent City the evening of Sunday, March […]
His bond was set at $500, according to jail records. However, he was being held on the “fugitive from justice” charges out of Wisconsin.
Czarneski allegedly vanished last fall, and within days, his car was found by cops abandoned near Dundas in Calumet County.
Czarneski was facing criminal charges in his native Wisconsin when he suddenly went missing.
According to online court records, he is charged in Brown County with sexual intercourse with a child age 16 or older while in Calumet County, he is charged with sexual intercourse with child age 15 or older, use of force, and second- and third-degree sexual assault.
The charges stem from encounters he allegedly had in January 2025.
He pled not guilty to all of the charges in January, and he was released on bond.
According to the terms of his bail, which was set at $7,500 and posted that same month, he was forbidden from traveling outside of Wisconsin’s borders without the court’s consent.
Czarneski’s bond was revoked and forfeited soon after he went missing, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on November 4, 2025, after he failed to appear in court for a scheduled status conference.
He was also charged with bail jumping on October 17, 2025, which is a felony that can carry a sentence of up to $10,000 or up to six years in prison.
If convicted of the charges he faces, Czarneski faces more than 10 years in prison.
