An alert was issued by the sheriff's office on Monday, Aug. 12 regarding Anthony Terrell West, who removed his GPS monitor late last month after being released from the county's Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown.

At the time, he was on pretrial release for violating a protective order and telephone misuse: single call, according to the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office.

West reportedly cut off his GPS device and left it before fleeing the area.

West was described as being 5-foot-8, weighing approximately 300 pounds. No details about charges against him were released by investigators.

Anyone with details regarding West or his whereabouts has been asked to contact Det. Joseph Bowling at the sheriff's office by calling (301) 475-4200 ext. 1959 or texting Crime Solvers at 274637.
