According to superior court records, Anderson was arrested on acts prohibited and driving while intoxicated in Wakefield in September 2019.

About a month after the Wakefield arrest, she was charged with acts prohibited in Wolfeboro and three acts prohibited charges in Sanbornville.

In September 2020, she was accused of three more acts prohibited charges in Sanbornville. She was charged in January 2021.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office filed a civil action against Anderson concerning $1,826 forfeiture.

In June 2021, Anderson reached a plea deal on her charges. The Wolfeboro charge and three Sanbornville charges were nolle prossed after she pleaded guilty to one of the Wakefield charges. She received a 12-month sentence with 14 days of time served and was suspended for three months. Anderson was also fined $434, but it was suspended, too. She also received a two-to-five-year sentence on one of the Sanbornville charges that was suspended for three years. Anderson was also fined $434. Also, the civil forfeiture case was also withdrawn.

A month after her sentence, she was accused of delivery, weapon, contraband in Ossipee. In May 2022, she pleaded nolo contendere and was found guilty by the court. Anderson was given a one-and-a-half-to-three-year prison sentence, all suspended for three years, and one year’s probation.

Anderson was charged with possession-sale of a narcotic drug in June 2023 in Ossipee. In December 2024, she pleaded guilty to a charge and received a three-and-a-half-to-seven-year sentence, suspended for five years. A drug court warrant was issued for her arrest in January.
