Cornealious Michael "Mike" Anderson III (born c. 1977) is an American who was convicted of armed robbery in 2000 and sentenced to thirteen years in the Missouri state prison system.[1] Due to a clerical error, his bond was not revoked when a warrant was issued for his arrest,[1] and Anderson was not arrested because the Missouri Department of Corrections thought he was already in prison.[2] The error was only discovered when he was scheduled to be released from prison in 2013[1][2] and he was arrested and required to serve his sentence.[1][2] His arrest stirred national controversy, especially since he was a changed man by that time, and on appeal Anderson was set free in 2014.[3]
