GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – A Green Bay resident is facing a $250,000 cash bond after being accused of attempted homicide.

As detailed in court documents acquired by Local 5, 47-year-old Robert Goodletson faces charges related to an alleged violent encounter in a bar in Green Bay. The incident reportedly unfolded on October 31 around 8:45 p.m. when police responded to a stabbing report at a State Street establishment.

Upon their arrival, officers discovered a victim suffering from several severe stab injuries. The victim recounted to investigators that upon entering the bar, he was immediately confronted by Goodletson, who began shouting at him.

Two men from New Jersey arrested linked to a Michigan terror scheme.

Authorities found a man, later identified as Goodletson, detained outside the bar. They confiscated a knife from him. According to the complaint, Goodletson remarked to the officers that it was fortunate he hadn’t killed the victim. He later asserted self-defense and declined further comment.

On November 1, officers went through the camera footage inside the bar. Based on information from the complaint, the video showed Goodletson making a drawing motion and appeared to be holding a knife. This allegedly happened while he was confronting the victim.

The video also reportedly showed him swinging a knife at another person.

Goodleston is charged with the following:

Attempted first degree intentional homicide (use of a dangerous weapon)
- Felony
- Up to 60 years in prison (can be increased by five years due to the use of a dangerous weapon)

Court records show Goodleston was scheduled to be in court on November 4 for his initial appearance. He had his cash bond set at $250,000.

He is scheduled to be back in court on November 18 for a status conference.

Local 5 will update this story as the case progresses.
