Attorney: Woodmere Man's Guns, Explosives a 'Hobby'

The attorney of a Woodmere man who was arrested on Tuesday after explosives and guns were found in his parent's house claimed the 53 year old had an “out of control" hobby, Long Island Press reported.

Marc Ringel pleaded not guilty on Thursday to drug and weapons charges. He was ordered held without bail and is due back in court Monday.

“If you look on the Internet, you can easily find out how to make bombs," attorney Saul Bienenfeld said. "If you want to take that up as a hobby, everything can be sold legally. It’s when you put it together that you have a problem. Not everything was put together.”

Ringel, who County Executive Edward Mangano described as a had enough explosive material in his parents' Narrow Lane house to blow it up and potentially the block, police said.

Bienenfeld said Ringel's large collection of guns were purchased online and were going to be sold. Ringel does not have a gun permit.

The attorney also questioned the validity of the police's search warrant after his client was arrested.
