The Highway Patrol said a felony arrest warrant for Anderson was obtained Wednesday and several attempts were made to get him to surrender on the warrants.
On Friday afternoon, according to troopers, Anderson was located at an apartment complex on Wells Road. After trying to get him to surrender peacefully, a Clay County sheriff's deputy got a key from the
property manager and troopers entered the apartment, the Highway Patrol said. Anderson was eventually found hiding in the bathroom closet and a K-9 named Conan engaged Anderson, according to the Highway Patrol.
Anderson was treated at the scene by Clay County Fire Rescue, arrested and taken to the Duval County jail, troopers said.
As of early Monday evening, according to online jail records, Anderson, who is also charged with resisting law enforcement, remained in jail on $210,768 bond.
