The Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) is searching for an escaped inmate out of Pinellas County.

Christal Anderson escaped from Suncoast CRC - a female housing facility located at 10596 Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg, Fla. The escape occurred at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.

She was sentenced to three years in prison for organized fraud. The sentencing occurred in 2014.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office is assisting the DOC in finding her. Deputies responded to the facility yesterday and learned she cut off her ankle monitor at 4:25 a.m.

ABC Action News is waiting to learn more from the DOC.
