Anthony Viktora of Wolfy’s Ocala Charged with Strangulation

Restaurant co-owner accused of choking stepdaughter

by Sophia Bennett

OCALA, Fla. — Anthony Michael Viktora, co-owner of Wolfy’s of Ocala, is facing a felony domestic battery by strangulation charge following an alleged physical altercation with his stepdaughter earlier this year.

The incident occurred just after midnight on Sunday, March 9, when Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residence in Ocala. According to the arrest report, the female victim stated she entered her mother and stepfather’s bedroom after hearing an argument. Once inside, she claimed Viktora yelled at her, pushed her, and then grabbed her neck and applied pressure.

The victim told deputies she slapped Viktora to defend herself before he allegedly threw her out of the room by the neck and slammed the door. Deputies reviewed a timestamped photo taken shortly after the incident showing red marks on her neck, consistent with her claims.

Viktora’s wife confirmed there had been a loud argument between the couple, and that the victim and Viktora “began arguing and shoving each other,” though she did not witness the entire event.

Viktora denied all allegations in a post-Miranda interview, claiming he only told the victim to leave and closed the door in her face. He stated he “never once touched her.”

Viktora, 43, was arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail, where he remains held on a $5,000 bond. In addition to the domestic battery charge, Viktora is facing a violation of probation. He has been on drug offender probation since July 2023, set to expire in July 2026.

He is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. on April 8 for the domestic battery charge and at 1 p.m. on April 21 regarding the probation violation.

According to his Facebook profile, Viktora lists himself as owner, manager, and CEO of Wolfy’s, located at 2159 E Silver Springs Boulevard. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last year celebrating the restaurant’s new ownership under Viktora and his mother.
