A final pretrial hearing for 46-year-old Eric Krieg is set for May 17, followed by a June 3 jury trial. The delay from a previously scheduled November trial was sought to give his lawyer more time to prepare.
The Munster man has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of knowing possession of a destructive device and transporting explosive materials.
Federal prosecutors allege that Krieg mailed a package at the East Chicago post office that exploded Sept. 6, injuring a postal worker and mailed a threatening letter to another individual on Sept. 29, 2017. Krieg has been in federal custody since his arrest in October 2017.
