Authorities did not release details about the sexual assault case, but said the victim was 13-year-old girl.
An arrest affidavit stated Anderson is also allegedly involved in several other crimes including another sex assault case against a juvenile, a shooting, a hit and run, numerous home invasions and car burglaries.
According to the affidavit, police searched his home and confiscated military tactical ammunition and 100 AK-47 rounds.
