- Bryan C. Wick, 27, and Tyler Christian Wick, 30, of Wausau, Wis., face separate but related criminal cases after a 17-year-old told police the brothers described themselves as Nazi extremists, discussed killing people and pressured her to use drugs during a July 11 encounter at their home. According to the complaint, Tyler Wick allegedly said he planned to kill 150 Black men and showed the teenager videos of people being killed, while police reviewing a Snapchat account identified as Bryan Wick’s found Nazi imagery and antisemitic material.
- The teenager told police the brothers repeatedly offered her substances she initially refused, including a marijuana-smelling vape and a smoking device containing what appeared to be marijuana and an unidentified white powder. She said she eventually inhaled from the device and experienced a strong effect that left her feeling disconnected from time and reality. She became frightened, contacted her boyfriend for help and later told her employer what had happened and that she feared retaliation from both brothers.
- Bryan Wick faces seven counts, including child enticement involving drugs, exposing a child to harmful material, delivery and possession of THC and bail jumping; the child enticement charge carries a maximum 25-year prison term. Tyler Wick faces felony charges of possessing a firearm while subject to a domestic or child abuse injunction and maintaining a drug trafficking place, plus misdemeanor THC possession. Cash bonds were set, and both remained jailed as of the article’s publication.
