GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Stephen Preisler — an author known as “Uncle Fester” for his books on how make ricin, methamphetamine and other items, and is now charged with drug manufacture — posted his $100,000 cash bond and has been released from jail.
Preisler faces eight counts: four of manufacture or delivery of amphetamine, and one count each of possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possess methamphetamine precursors, and maintaining a drug trafficking house.
A status conference is scheduled for Friday morning. At that time, a preliminary hearing may be scheduled.
The criminal complaint states the amount of methamphetamines allegedly found in his home could last the average user anywhere from 328 days to over 3,000 days. Several of Preisler’s own books, related to drug manufacturing, were also found at his east-side Green Bay home. Preisler has said in court that many of the items seized were not the drugs authorities claim, and asked for testing of those items.
Three others were also charged in the case.
