Ohio man pleads not guilty in pipe bomb case
CLEVELAND — An Ohio man injured in November when two explosions rocked his apartment has pleaded not guilty to a federal charge of possessing dozens of 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.
Campano didn’t speak but nodded his agreement when a judge said he would enter a not guilty plea on his behalf. He’s charged with having about 37 unregistered pipe bombs.
Campano, a former doctor who practiced in Ohio and West Virginia, 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.
