Indiana Guardsman Stopped for Speeding in Madison County Had 48 Bombs
January 8th, 2014Update: Chemical Weapons Charge Added
Via: Dayton Daily News:
A former Fairborn resident and Wright State University graduate reportedly had more than 80 explosives devices, plus the materials to make more, inside his van when he was stopped on Interstate 70 New Year’s Day, the Columbus bomb squad commander testified Friday.
Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, of Moores Hill, Ind., faces a new charge of illegal assembly and possession of chemical weapons in addition to his initial felony charge of illegal manufacture or processing of explosives. The charges stem from a traffic stop New Year’s Day on westbound I-70 in Madison County when Trooper W. Scott Davis said he clocked Boguslawski driving 85 mph in a 70 mph zone.

An Indiana National Guardsman was arrested outside Columbus on New Year’s Day after a state trooper found nearly 50 bombs and the blueprints for a Navy SEAL training facility inside his car, the Madison County prosecutor said yesterday.
Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, also had a remote-control device to detonate the bombs, Madison County Prosecutor Stephen Pronai said. Boguslawski’s civilian job is as a groundskeeper at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in south-central Indiana. Prosecutors could not say definitively yesterday whether the blueprints in his car were for the facility where he worked.
Boguslawski also had a bulletproof vest in his car, Pronai said.
“He said something to the trooper about making a bomb vest,” Pronai said.
Lt. Col. Cathy Van Bree, a spokeswoman for the Indiana National Guard, said Boguslawski is a specialist in the guard who does intelligence analysis and has top-secret clearance.

Calling Muscatatuck UTC a “navy seal training facility” is like calling WalMart a potato chip store.
Seals train at Muscatatuck, so do all kinds of troops, including friendly foreign troops.
Muscatatuck is the former site of a depression era school for youth with learning disabilities.
It’s like a small college campus all out by itsself. It was called the “Indiana farm colony for feeble minded youth”, the kind of place they make horror movies about.
Now they use the grounds as an urban warfare training center.
If the guy was a groundskeeper there he probably picked up enough unexploded ordinance at work to fill a pickup truck (grenade simulators, etc).
He could have had nefarious purpose or he could have been planning on blowing up a bunch of homemade fireworks to celebrate the new year.
