An Indiana National Guardsman was arrested outside of Columbus on New Years 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 today.
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 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 has top secret clearance.
Pronai said Boguslawski appeared to be heading back to Indiana when a state trooper clocked him going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone on I-70. When the trooper came back to the car to give Boguslawski a ticket, he saw the handle of a gun between his legs.
The trooper ordered Boguslawski out of the car, and called for backup. Investigators found another three guns in the car — all loaded — and 48 bombs. They also found material to make more explosives.
Pronai said most of the bombs were small. He said investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have searched Boguslawski’s house, and that local and federal investigators are trying to determine if Boguslawski planned to attack the military facility. They are also combing through a computer, cameras and GPS found in his car.
Boguslawski is charged in Madison County with one count of manufacturing explosives, a second-degree felony. A preliminary court hearing is scheduled for Friday. He is being held at Tri-County Jail in Mechanicsburg on a $1 million bond.
Polish… and no jokes please
OUCH! ...
43? He looks like he’s 60.
I see a fake name, and fake age.
I wonder if NSA has any data on him....
Looks like he’s related to “Merle” from the “Walking Dead”...
Bogus Law Ski??? Bogus Law???? LOL!!!!
I SWEAR I didn’t read yours before I posted mine.
No problem. After all, GMTA. (8^D)
Driving crazy tends to draw attention. Too bad he didn't have to slam on the breaks and BANG! Then again, this could all be bogus.
I think you could’ve hit the nail on the head.
Who says the NSA didn’t know all about him from his email traffic, etc.?
Who says they didn’t pass a BOLO on to the troopers?
Who says he was going 85 in a 70 zone?
But it was all just a fortuitous accident??? Possible, but from what we know of domestic spying...
Driving that fast, having a gun between his legs when the cop came to talk to him, and telling the cop something about making a bomb vest.... sounds like this person WANTED to get caught.
And a top security clearance and a man TRYING to get caught.
More than meets the eye on this one.
