CALEB ANDERSON

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Caleb Anderson, 25, formerly of Caspian, will be sentenced Sept. 23 in Brown County Circuit Court after pleading no contest Thursday to first-degree intentional homicide for the slaying of 65-year-old Patrick Ernst, of Green Bay, in 2022.

A no-contest plea means he accepts a guilty verdict without admitting or denying any guilt.

Anderson has already been ordered to serve life in prison in Alabama without possibility of parole after pleading guilty in January to capital murder charges in the Aug. 3, 2022, stabbing death of Flomaton, Ala., resident Dwight Anthony Dixon, 52.

Anderson is currently held at the Brown County Jail on $2 million bond, the Appleton Post Crescent reported. He was extradited to Wisconsin after he was convicted in Alabama.

Ernst, who was found dead Aug. 2, 2023, had around 51 stab wounds, a Brown County forensic pathologist determined.
