What Happened on Their Watch

Rogers State Prison — Correctional Unit Manager (2021–2024)

GPS records attribute ten deaths at Rogers State Prison during Anderson's tenure as Unit Manager. The deaths span March 2021 through September 2024 and involve individuals ranging in age from 21 to 59: Chad Walker Jeter, 43 (March 17, 2021); Michael Glenn McKee, 59 (May 22, 2021); Jeremy LaSean Walton, 31 (June 12, 2021); Timothy Brent Jenkins, 22 (April 7, 2022); Caleb Sexton, 21 (April 24, 2022); Bradley Lyle Weitzel, 40 (March 21, 2023); William Joseph Smiley, 41 (August 15, 2023); Randall Henry Baker, 38 (December 6, 2023); Shawn Remar Johnson, 34 (July 23, 2024); and Taylor Anthony Hunt, 29 (September 27, 2024). All ten are recorded under cause category 6. The youngest decedents — Jenkins (22) and Sexton (21) — died within 17 days of each other in April 2022.

The death of Taylor Anthony Hunt carries additional dispute. Per GPS intel event records, Hunt's death was officially classified by GDC as a suicide; however, multiple GPS event entries allege that Hunt's body showed ligature marks, broken bones, bruises, puncture wounds, and stab wounds, and that physical evidence contradicts the suicide ruling. GPS records do not identify a source publication for these allegations, and no final independent determination of cause appears in the structured data. The incident date recorded for Hunt in the deaths table is September 27, 2024; the intel events reference September 1, 2024. No charges, findings of misconduct, or lawsuits connected to any of the ten deaths name Anderson as a defendant in GPS records.
