The responding officer, Deputy Ken Baker, located Anthony walking down Sunset Drive carrying a red backpack, said Live Oak Sheriff Larry Busby. “He asked him [Anthony] if he was with a 15-year-old girl and he stated yes but she was with her guardian,” said Busby. “Then when questioned by Deputy Ken Baker, he [Anthony] changed his story,” said Busby.
