He was arrested and charged with Aggravated Trafficking Scheduled Drugs, class A, Unlawful Possession of Schedule Drugs, class B, and Violation of Conditions of Release, class E.
Because of his bail conditions for felony crimes and violation of his conditions of release, Mota is being held without bail pending an appearance before a judge.
Mota is expected to make an initial appearance on Friday.
