GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Stephen Preisler — a Green Bay author known for his books on how to make ricin, methamphetamine, and other drugs who now faces a variety of drug charges — still does not have an attorney, so no preliminary hearing has been set.
Preisler, also known as “Uncle Fester,” originally faced 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. After he posted bond, he was arrested again and charged with three more counts.
Preisler told the court Friday he is working on getting an attorney. Another status conference was set for Oct. 26
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.
The city also initiated civil action to have the home on E. Baird Street declared a public nuisance in an effort to force a sale or have it demolished.
