Drug case tied to teen's suicide
By KATE GARSOMBKE
Journal staff
A follow-up investigation into last year's suicide of a Stevens Point teen has led to a Madison teen being charged with delivering hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Jameson L. Friess, 19, failed to make his initial appearance Tuesday in Portage County court on a charge that he sold psilocybin mushrooms to friends of 19-year-old Logan P. Sterling the day Sterling killed himself with a power saw.
Judge Thomas Flugaur issued a bench warrant for Freiss's arrest.
As Portage County law officers struggled to ex-plain the circumstances surrounding Sterling's death last fall, the county coroner's office turned to a private lab to test his blood for drugs that are undetectable by the state lab. Because of an insufficient amount of blood in the sample, the lab was unable to determine whether the drug was present in Sterling, the criminal complaint said.
Sterling intentionally crashed his 1993 Ford Escort, which also carried a male passenger, into trees on the city's north side Aug. 24, 2002. He then fled on foot to a Dubay Avenue home, where he entered a stranger's garage and used a miter saw to sever his neck, according to police reports.
In a follow-up interview, a friend of Sterling's told Portage County Sheriff's Department Detective Ter-ry Groshek that Sterling may have been under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms when he died, according to a criminal complaint.
When eaten, psilocybin mushrooms distort perception and thought. Users have difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and can suffer nausea, dizziness and muscle twitching. People also can experience intense anxiety, panic, mood changes and perceptual distortions similar to the effects of LSD.
A charge of delivery of psilocybin wasn't filed against Friess until August 2003 because law officers were waiting for the results of the blood test, said Portage County District Attorney Thomas Eagon.
He said no charges relating to Sterling's death will be brought against Friess because of a lack of "evidence to link it to the death."
According to the criminal complaint, Friess went to Sterling's home Aug. 24, 2002, with several people and they all had mushroom tea. Friess also sold psilocybin mushrooms to several people at Sterling's for $30 or $40 per one-eighth of an ounce.
Friess later told a Portage County law officer that he bought 20 grams of mushrooms in Madison for $160, then sold 15 grams of the mushrooms to Sterling's two roommates.
Sterling's mother went to her son's home Aug. 25, 2002, and told one of the roommates to give her whatever drugs they had been taking, according to the complaint. The roommate gave her a 2.2-gram bag of mushrooms, which she turned over to the sheriff's department.
A message left by the Journal on Sterling's mother's answering machine was not returned.
A search of Sterling's home by law officers later found two more bags of mushrooms, weighing 2.5 grams and 3.7 grams, court records said.

it says he may have been under the influence of mushrooms... it sounds like they found mushrooms everywhere but his bloodstream. he probably did eat some, but still... he might have just been a guy who liked his shrooms and decided to give some datura a spin that day... who knows.
that does sound alot like datura craziness to me.
what a nut. can you imagine being any of those people? his roommate? the passenger in the car? his mom? the guy with the miter saw? the paramedics who arrived on the scene? shit, shit shit...
