Indiana NGer arrested with bombs…a lot of bombs…in Ohio
Pinto Nag sent us a link yesterday about Andrew Scott Boguslawski, of Moores Hill, Ind. who was stopped in Ohio for speeding. The officer who pulled him over saw the butt of a handgun between Boguslawski’s knees and called for back up. They searched his car and found several dozen bombs in his car and a couple of guns. It turns out that the dude is in the National Guard, according to Stars & Stripes;
Officials said the suspect, Andrew Scott Boguslawski, of Moores Hill, Ind., was trained as an intelligence analyst with the Indiana National Guard and held a security clearance.
Boguslawski, 43, was detained on a $1-million bond after prosecutors in Madison County, Ohio, said he carried bomb-making tools along with 48 explosives, two rifles and two handguns.
“Most concerning to me was that they found a remote detonating device,” said Nick Adkins, an assistant Madison County prosecutor. “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.”
[…]
Indiana National Guard Lt. Col. Cathleen A. Van Bree said Boguslawski joined the Guard in Pennsylvania after he graduated from high school there in 1988. He also served in the Guard in Ohio and Tennessee, she said.
After transferring to the Indiana National Guard in November 2007, he was employed as a groundskeeper at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center. He was later trained in military intelligence analysis. In November, he was assigned to the Guard’s medical discharge unit.
Dude clammed up when he was arrested, so we don’t know where he was headed with his four dozen bombs, or why, or anything. But obviously someone missed something on the background check for his clearance. I wonder what it is that makes Ohio so bombable.

This guy has a problem. Now he has bigger problems. Question Jonn. If one is Court Martialed after earning a retirement pension, can the pension be lost as part of the Court’s decision?
HVE!
Probably a white guy that hates all others.
This is the type of HVE that is MOST dangerous!
OK … turn it over to the local FBI JTTF and let them do their work.
Without looking at the guy … I betcha he looks bat shit crazy!

Not to cause undue speculation, but the city of London, Ohio, (located between Dayton and Columbus along interstate 70) is in Madison County. And London is home to both the Ohio Peace Officers Training Council/Academy, as well as the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI … sort of the state’s version of the FBI.)
I’d be very curious to find out where Boguslawski was actually stopped.
What is it with all these “analysts” going off the deep end?
“What has been seen cannot be unseen” ?
Gosh, gee whillikers, why arrest somebody for having bombs and guns?
That’s an AMERICAN thing!
It’s a guy thing.
Us guys like playing with things that go bang and boom.
Shucks, out in Utah, on the ranch, every time the family (it’s a BIG one – – – typical Mormons) and friends gather for some sort of holiday celebration, it will always include lots of target shooting and black powder cannon fire.
Even the gals (all of then gorgeous, well endowed Nordic blondes) all have SKS rifles, which they shoot accurately (and they ride horses and rope cattle).
When I lived in Idaho, I’d go to local Mountain Man Rendezvous’, and see the same thing there, plus tomahawk and Bowie knife throwing exhibitions.
They would use potato guns to shoot candy for the young’uns to chase.
When I was in the Army, one of my buddies had a hobby of building and launching homemade rockets, and we loved setting off illegal fireworks and shooting my Colt Model 1911 .45 calibre.
Gee, I wish I had some bombs and guns here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home.
Sparks: according to this document (pp. 11-12), a punitive discharge disqualifies a member of the military who is otherwise retirement eligible from retirement. Therefore, if an individual court-martialed and receives a sentence including a BCD or DD (or dismissal, if an officer) and the sentence is approved by all who must approve it, they lose eligibility for retirement.

It was written by an Army JAG Officer, so I’d guess he knows what he’s talking about.
Analyst/Groundskeeper?
chinch bugs, you know… manganese. A lot of people don’t even know what that is…
I have a friend in Oregon Guard MI and he isn’t crazy. The worst he does is sleep with anything that is female and has a pulse.
New reports also say he had blueprints for a Navy SEAL training facility on board, so I’m thinking we’ll find out he’s more of an anti-military guy than a pro-military vet.

@3. Dammit Gravel. Where the hell have you been? You know you had a few of us wondering you SOB. Is it too much to ask that you stop by here more now than then? Well, pissed as I may be, it’s good to know that you are still bothering people with “undue speculation.”
@8 Closer…..
Fark you man, just fark you…….
chinch bugs, you know… manganese. A lot of people don’t even know what that is…
OATMEAL IN THE SINUSES HURTS YOU BITCH!!!
😀
Thanks for that laugh #8….
A Caddyshack reference always bodes well for a post…..
@14 MGySgt…
Two finny things…..I immediately read that in Carl Spackler’s voice and two, it was so subtle…..just casually dropped in as a vague reference made it that much funnier….
Closer …..*VERY well done*
A good lawyer now has the winning strategy with which to get this guy acquitted:
“My client was just planning to use those devices to get rid of gophers, Your Honor.”
@7 Hondo
Even in retirement ya gotta watch it. Getting convicted of Federal crime can ruin your day (also having Federal Warrant). Your pension & benefits can be stripped.
This is interesting!

Based on my research … the aforementioned got it right … CADDY SHACK!
@7 and @17 Thank you for the information.
48? I’ll be up all night wondering why he chose that number, rather than, say, a nice round 50. Or even 45 makes much more sense. But 48? What is he, nuts?
Devtun: careful. Unlike a court-martial conviction resulting in a punitive discharge, it appears that very few post-retirement Federal crimes or other actions actually strip a military retiree’s entitlement to his/her retired pay post-conviction. Most that do are crimes involving national security and may be found in 5 USC 8311-8322, along with flight to avoid prosecution and involvement in international parental kidnapping (the latter two cause suspension). 21 USC 862a provides for suspension of various Federal benefits in the case of conviction of certain drug-related crimes, but forfeiture of military retired pay doesn’t appear to be listed there.
See chapter 13 of
http://comptroller.defense.gov/fmr/current/07b/Volume_07b.pdf
However, I’m pretty sure military retired pay can be attached if you receive a hefty fine or are ordered to pay restitution – and many Federal felonies carry potentially huge fines. So the Courts can cause effective forfeiture through that means.

Heh. I moved cross country in August. The time was right and I was sick of the heat and humidity in Florida. Traded it in for the ice and snow of Ohio.
It actually happened pretty quick. A local Legion member was looking for a bigger home in my subdivision and I was looking to GTFO of Florida. Within 30 days the household goods were packed and the house sold. Found a nice cabin on some acreage in Ohio and *bam* here I am.
As always I read the site quite often, but limit my commenting. Plus it’s satellite internet here, which makes everything slower than pouring molasses outside on a fine wintery day.
@24 GRAVEL:
Ah-HAH ! ! !
So, THAT’s why my computer is so tediously, agonizingly, frustratingly S-L-O-W ! ! !
Here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, we have SENIOR TV, which comes in over a dish.
That’s also my Internet access.
@24. Well, I truly hope you enjoy the country living. And I know about that satellite crap. I had Wild Blue by necessity a while back and I can’t say enough bad things about it. Whatever is lower than sucks, well, one needs to go lower than that to aptly describe it. I threw a party when I was able to rid myself of it. Did you ever get that new chair from the VA or is that still ‘in the works?’ Now, before someone sugests that we get a room, I better cut this off. Glad you’re still at TAH but do try to comment more often.
Gravel, I just moved to Ohio this summer as well. Dayton, not to far from where numb nuts here was picked up….
Local Dayton station report. He was a former student at Wright State here in Dayton.
ooops, how about the link….

Let’s see if we can list the legitimate reasons for him carrying around bombs in his car.
No, I couldn’t come up with any either. Surely if he had one, it would have been out there by now. (Yeah, there are some, but it is highly doubtful that any apply to this guy.)
@#27 — Old Tanker.
I’m a couple hours s/e of Dayton. However, I spent my senior year of high school in Fairborn … ooohhh eleventyhundred years ago.
@#26 — 2/17 Air Cav.
It’s peaceful, I will say that about it . Heh.
And Re; the wheelchair *SIGH* I have yet to undertake that mission. I dread it, honestly. However, I need to get off my rear and get it taken care of, and soon. This one is nearing the point that it needs to be led to the pasture and have a round or two put through the battery compartment.
@22 – it doesn’t say what kind of “bombs” but don’t Hoffman simulators come in packs of 12?
