WBNS-10TV News Report Interview with Steven Nolder of Scott & Nolder Law Firm

Andrew Boguslawski was arrested on January 1, 2014 when an Ohio State Trooper pulled him over for speeding near Franklin County. Several guns, high powered fire arms and homemade explosives were found when police searched the vehicle.

Boguslawski, a member of the Indiana National Guard, (where he also received a commendation), had been involved in training troops heading to Afghanistan to prepare for Urban warfare. As a part of his involvement, this training included the construction and detonation of these devices on military installations for the past 7-8 years without the expressed requirement of, nor actual possession of a licence.

Quoted in an article in the Columbus Dispatch, Steve Nolder, his attorney said, “He added explosives to the training because he had a desire to make it more real,”

According to the Columbus Dispatch, investigators found photos and videos of Boguslawski and family members detonating various explosive devices. Boguslawski was pulled over in Ohio driving from his father’s property in Pennsylvania where devices had allegedly been detonated for amusement.

He had a concealed carry permit registered in Indiana for all of the firearms, but the permit is not recognized in the State of Ohio.

Entering a guilty plea in court, in Columbus Ohio on April 1st, Boguslawski now faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and a three-year supervised release. No date has been set for sentencing.
