Authorities say there were several warrants out for his arrest -- one of them was for violating his probation for a crime he pleaded guilty to last year – enticing and luring a child over the internet and the attempted sexual assault of that child.
It happened in Jefferson County on June 6, 2009. Anderson was sentenced to two years probation, but according to court documents, he violated that probation by failing to appear for his scheduled appointments, failing to contact the probation department and failing to submit to substance testing.
Here's a look at the online conversation Anderson had that day, with what he thought was a young girl, but turned out to be an undercover police officer with the Crimes Against Children's Unit for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. The officer was portraying himself as a teenage girl under the age of fifteen.
Anderson used the screen name "Mattstr34."
He started the conversation like this:
"Too bad yur not 18huh" and "I neeed to find sum company lol."
He then goes on to say, "im kinda bored an lonely lol."
He stated his back hurt and he wanted the 'child' to walk on it. "Ya bet u taste yummy too" and "u can just say you're older lol." He then continues with "Let's party" and on being asked if he was serious he responded "why not".
Anderson then said, "u want me too be playin with ya…Could be fun to meet u…"
He then said "i like kissing an touching you all over"… "is kinda illegal for us u kno" ... "don't wanna get arrested u know." Anderson then told the 'child' to "get on the bus an come up here lol."
The undercover officer, posing as the child, finally says "Bye"... to which Anderson replies, "sorry sweety just dont' need trubble, u know"... "ok we can do this." Anderson then gave the 'child' his home address in Northglenn.
A few hours later he was arrested, when an undercover female police officer showed up at his home posing as the young girl.

The new year could bring big changes to state laws.
Fewer government workers, fewer teachers, and fewer registrations of sex offenders are all being proposed by state lawmakers.
With a projected state budget shortfall of $25 billion, one proposed solution is to get rid of the law that limits elementary class size to 22 students.
Proponents say the change would give local school district more flexibility and could save hundreds of millions of dollars
However, teacher groups say it could come at the expense of thousands of jobs and of a child's education.
"I think the class-size limits would be a terrible place to cut,” said Shelley Potter, president of the San Antonio Alliance of Teachers and Support Personnel. “The biggest impact would be on the students, and that's the negative impact that we are concerned about."
With many local governments struggling financially as much as the state, Representative-elect Lyle Larson of San Antonio filed a bill that would allow the consolidation of the Bexar County and San Antonio governments.
Larson said it would save millions by eliminating duplicate services.
"It's just more efficient and more effective government, and I think that's what people are asking for," he said.
Not all the bills filed so far focus on cutting the budget.
Mary Sue Molnar of Texas Voices is pushing for a bill she says would turn her son’s life around.
She said her son has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life because, when he was 22 years old, he had consensual sex with a 16-year-old.
A new bill would allow such "Romeo and Juliet" sex offenders to petition to take their names off the registry.
"With so many thousands of people on the registry, we don't really know who possesses a threat and who doesn't," Molnar said.
Molnar said the bill is about having a more efficient sex offender registry and not just a large one.
Opponents argue Texas families deserve the right to know whether an individual who was convicted of a sex crime lives nearby regardless of the circumstances of their crime.
