An Indiana man stopped on Jan. 1 in Madison County with nine bombs in his van has agreed to plead guilty to possessing unregistered destructive devices. <\/p>\n
Andrew Scott Boguslawski has signed a plea agreement and is scheduled for a hearing on April 1 in U.S. District Court in Columbus, according to court records filed today. <\/p>\n
The charge carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence and a fine of $250,000. <\/p>\n
Boguslawski, 44, of Moores Hill, Ind., is an Indiana National Guard member and was stopped on I-70 west of Columbus as he drove from Pennsylvania to Indiana. He was arrested by State Highway Patrol troopers for speeding. <\/p>\n
Troopers searched his van after noticing a firearm between his legs. They found nine completed bombs and four nearly complete bombs, as well as an assault rifle, three pistols, another rifle, ammunition and two improvised silencers, according to his plea agreement. <\/p>\n
The bombs were heavy plastic bottles filled with explosive powder with a length of fuse inserted in the lid, court records said. Under federal law, destructive devices must be registered. <\/p>\n
Boguslawski originally was charged in state court, but his case was transferred to federal court this month. <\/p>\n
