Woman Reports Vehicle Incident and Threats
According to court documents, Anderson’s former girlfriend contacted police on June 13, 2026.
She reported that Anderson had driven his black Dodge Charger into a utility pole near her home.
She also alleged that Anderson threatened to drive his vehicle into her garage.
Responding officers observed tire tracks in the grass and damage to several utility boxes.
Two days later, the woman reported receiving repeated unwanted text messages.
She told police Anderson continued contacting her through WhatsApp using new phone numbers after she blocked him.
Police Called After Window Incident
On August 26, the woman reported another incident at her residence.
She alleged Anderson arrived at her home and began banging on the windows.
According to the complaint, he forcefully opened a window and yelled insults at her.

Threatening Messages Alleged in November
