Ohio Police Find 48 Explosives After Pulling Over Speedy Driver

Andrew Scott Boguslawski was arrested on New Years day after police pulled him over for speeding and found 48 bombs and four guns in his car, according to UPI.com.

He was arrested with a total of 48 bombs, four guns, a detonator and extra material to produce more explosives, UPI reported.

Boguslawski, 43, was arrested on counts of illegal manufacture or processing of explosives and was jailed on a $1 million bond, UPI reported. He is set to appear in court on Friday and made no statements in regard to his arrest to investigators.

"I think there is a significant risk to the public," Assistant Madison County Prosecutor Nick Adkins said, UPI reported. "Until we can sort through the facts of this case, and what we have here and what his intent was, it is necessary to keep the public safe.

Originally from Indiana, Boguslawski was pulled over on Interstate 70 in Ohio's Madison County for going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone, UPI reported.

Adkins said State Trooper William Davis was led to ask Boguslawski if he has any weapons after noticing a bumper sticker on his car which said: "If you can read this, you're in range," according to UPI.

The man allegedly answered "no," so the trooper walked back to his car to write the speeding ticket. When the Davis returned to the car, he noticed Boguslawski had a gun in between his knees, UPI reported.

At that point, he drew his service weapon, held the man there and called for backup," said Adkins, according to UPI.

"Most concerning to me was that they found a remote detonating device," Adkins said, adding "the majority of the devices, I would not classify as high tech, but some of the devices were set up to be activated with the remote detonator."

Boguslawski works at a Navy SEALs training facility in Indiana and has no criminal history, Adkins said in a statement, UPI reported.

An investigation is currently underway "looking for a link to any known terrorist operations and to identify the intended target," Adkins said, according to UPI.
