The sheriff’s office overseeing the Wisconsin county where a man was recently charged with the death and dismemberment of a 19-year-old woman had to dispel rumors that the suspect was free on bond.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office posted messages to social media in all-caps stressing that 33-year-old Maxwell Anderson had not paid his bond, which was set at $5 million.
“FOR REASONS WE CAN’T FATHOM, IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE ARE LYING THIS EVENING, CLAIMING ACCUSED MURDERER MAXWELL ANDERSON HAS MADE BAIL. FALSE!” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook Friday evening.
The sheriff’s office also posted a message to X that continued to scold the public for spreading the rumors.
“MAXWELL REMAINS IN CUSTODY ON $5 MILLION BAIL. SPREADING OTHERWISE IS INSANELY IRRESPONSIBLE, NO TO MENTION FALSE!” the X post states .
Anderson is still in custody after being charged last week with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson in connection to the death of 19-year-old Sade Robinson.
