CINCINNATI (AP) — A man being held Wednesday on $1
million bond in central Ohio after police say they found bombs and other
weapons in his vehicle is a specialist in the Indiana National Guard,
trained as an intelligence analyst, a Guard official said.
Andrew
Scott Boguslawski, 43, arrested Jan. 1 after a traffic stop,
completed training in military intelligence in April 2010, military
records show.
Lt. Col. Cathy Van Bree told The Associated Press by
email on Wednesday that Boguslawski’s security clearance has been
suspended, along with "all favorable personnel actions," meaning he
can’t be promoted, receive awards or other privileges.
Boguslawski
was transferred in November to the medical discharge unit, but Van Bree
said she couldn’t discuss any information about his condition.
Boguslawski
was stopped Jan. 1 for speeding on a highway west of Columbus. Madison
County authorities say he was charged with illegally making or
possessing an explosive device, after 48 bombs, four guns and a remote
detonating device were allegedly found in his vehicle.
County
authorities said an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper stopped
Boguslawski for going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone. Police said that although
Boguslawski said he had no weapons, the officer spotted the handle of a
gun between his knees as the officer returned with a ticket.
No
attorney was listed Wednesday afternoon for him. He is scheduled for a
court appearance Friday. Van Bree referred questions to the Madison
County prosecutor about why Boguslawski might have been carrying the
weapons. The prosecutor did not immediately return a call.
The
federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also
investigating, and also didn’t immediately return a call for comment.
Boguslawski
completed infantry training at Fort Benning, Ga., in 1999. But Van Bree
said he was never deployed overseas. He served in the Ohio National
Guard in 2002-2006. He has also served in the National Guard in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee, Van Bree said.
After
transferring to the Indiana National Guard in November 2007, he also was
employed as a groundskeeper at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center
near Butlerville, Ind.
