CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man injured in November when two explosions rocked his apartment has pleaded not guilty to a federal charge of possessing pipe bombs.
Fifty-six-year-old Mark Campano, of Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) Falls, was arraigned Tuesday.
He was brought into a federal court in Cleveland with his left hand still bandaged. He’s charged with having about 37 unregistered pipe bombs.
Campano didn’t speak but nodded his agreement when a judge said he would enter a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Campano is a former doctor who practiced in Ohio and West Virginia. He was arrested after two explosions ripped through his apartment.
His mother says her son didn’t intend to harm anyone and detonated the devices in remote areas as a hobby.
