DENVER (KDVR) — A 40-year-old Denver man, who was the focus of an Amber Alert bulletin last November, is on the run again.
Court records confirm a new arrest warrant has been issued for Anwar Rhodes. He apparently cut off his GPS ankle monitor and failed to show up for a Monday court hearing on domestic violence charges.
The FOX31 Problem Solvers spoke with his ex-girlfriend in an exclusive interview.

“I feel like a sitting duck, like am I just supposed to wait for my son to get kidnapped again or for me to be murdered? Who’s going to take care of my children?”
Denver Police issued an Amber Alert on Nov. 9 that said, in part: “Information gathered indicates that Rhodes assaulted the child’s mother and took the infant child from the mother.”

The 40-year-old Denver woman said Rhodes was facing 8-10 years in prison under a proposed plea deal, although the Denver District Attorney’s Office refused to confirm the offer had been made.

Garner said she suspects Rhodes cut off his ankle monitor and fled because he knew he wasn’t going to be able to avoid prison time, as he got probation for a prior misdemeanor conviction when Garner said Rhodes broke her jaw in 2020.
“He didn’t even want to face the fact that he was an abuser. He told multiple people, ‘No, I wasn’t. No, I wasn’t. No, I’m not.'”
If Rhodes is caught, the judge must grant Rhodes bond again, as required under state law, although the amount could be much higher than $50,000.
Anyone who sees Rhodes is asked to call 911.
