Deputies obtained a search warrant after receiving credible evidence that Stanley was producing meth at his home, including a large number of  purchases of pseudoephedrine over the past year.

Stanley admitted to detectives that he was making methamphetamine to help medicate himself showed deputies his manufacturing equipment in a storage shed. Investigators located a variety of drug production equipment and supplies along with 117 grams of meth. They also found a Mason jar that contained a gas like substance that Stanley stated was homemade napalm. He did not give a reason for possessing the Napalm.

Numerous firearms, to include rifles and handguns, along with a large amount of ammunition were also located inside Stanley’s residence.

    A scientist that self-medicates, certainly sounds like a mental assessment should be done before he is let out on bond. Many schizophrenics either have the “government is out to get me” delusion or the “God is sending me special messages to do his bidding” delusion. If this so called scientist is mentally unstable, this could be a cause for alarm .

    He sort of reminds me of the Unibomber. Ted Chezinski I think was his name. He had a PHD in mathmatics, if I recall correctly. I bet that napalm was for a self destruct system for that Lab/Storage Shed he was working out of. A hardwired switch or garage door control. I think they call that tampering with evidence, or blowing up the neighborhood.

    If you were to count all the 22 long rifle bullets I have laying around my house, and in my truck, I guess it might be considered of Arsenal proportions by a few. Other media coverage pointed out a “German” assault rifle.
    What makes it worse than Russian, Romanian, Chinese, or American assault rifles?
    Napalm is basically a jelled fuel. You can melt Styrofoam in gasoline or diesel and you have it. The police report sounds like he had a bomb or something.

    The issue here is He was manufacturing Methamphetamine. Funny how reports get distorted. They might of tossed in he also had a mess of Collards in the freezer.

    He needed that extra energy boost for his various nefarious super-villainous activities, and the Red Bull wasn’t cutting it any longer.

    REGARDING:
    “Scientist? What kind of scientist? Where is this man employed?”

    From above:
    “Stanley told deputies that he was a scientist, and investigators found documentation inside his residence verifying that information. His workplace has not been disclosed.”

    Leggrizer, my thoughts exactly, I sure it was no shake and bake “one jar” method and I love the “self medicate” line.

    Great Job officers, to bad the judge didn’t see napalm, meth maker,
    druggie w/ arsenal of weapons as dangerous to the community so they let the nut out again.

    Thanks you Judge…..what a waste of tax dollars for the swinging door
    known as our judicial system.

  18. Janet on March 2nd, 2012 5:48 am

    Now wouldn’t you just love to have him as a neighbor???

  19. Guns for All on March 2nd, 2012 5:38 am

    I wonder just how many guns constitutes an ARSENAL accoding to the media. Things like this are always bloated.
    Where does someone even begin to look for a place to buy NAPALM?

    I Love the smell of NAPALM in the morning….it smells like JAIL…..hahahahahahah
