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 also mailed a suspicious package to another individual on Sept. 29.
Krieg has been in federal custody since his October arrest.
