Third drug arrest in five years earns 23-year-old hefty bail amount

By JIM BUTLER

Kendrick Anderson Jr. appears to have made a career choice when he reached 18, perhaps sooner.

Anderson, 23, of Alexandria was jailed Tuesday on four counts of possession of drugs with intent to distribute.

Along with traffic charges in the 9 a.m. incident that include flight from officers, that pushed his bail to $78,900.

He posted bond Wednesday afternoon.

As an 18-year-old Anderson was arrested on two possession/intent counts as well as having a firearm while allegedly possessing drugs.

Exactly seven months later he was again booked on possession charges and of having a firearm at the same time.
