CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) has confirmed that troopers discovered explosives early Friday morning during a traffic stop on I-71 southbound.
Wade L. Boone, of Cleveland, is facing felony charges of unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, improper handling of a firearm and having weapons while under disability.
An OSHP spokesperson said troopers attempted to pull over a red Ford Escape around 1:44 a.m. for failure to display registration as well as a vehicle defect.
The 38-year-old driver, identified by police as Boone, didn’t immediately stop, the spokesperson said, driving about one mile before pulling over.
OSHP said the troopers making the stop also witnessed lots of movement inside the vehicle.
For those reasons, the spokesperson said, Boone was asked to exit the car when he finally pulled over.
Boone told troopers he had a firearm in the vehicle, OSHP said.
A firearm that wasn’t properly secured was found during a search of the car, the spokesperson said.
But troopers continued to search, and the highway patrol said that’s when they found four homemade explosives.
OSHP said the devices were seized, and Boone was taken into custody. He’s currently in the Cuyahoga County Jail.
According to the spokesperson, domestic terrorism isn’t suspected. Boone told troopers that the explosives were for “the eradication of animals” on a family farm in rural Ohio.
Mutual aid was requested Linndale and Cleveland police departments. The Cleveland Police Bomb Squad and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded, the spokesperson said.
The investigation caused a lane closure until approximately 6 a.m.
The ramp from I-71 SB to W. 130th Street was also closed, according to OHGO.com.
The media now waits breathlessly to see if he was a MAGA guy on his way to blow up an abortion clinic.
Timothy McVeigh was pulled over for not displaying a license plate.

Explosives for eradicating animals? I have a farm and deal with varmints all the time, but it never occurred to me to use explosives. Smokebombs, maybe. Just how big are Ohio woodchucks, coyote, and coons, anyway?
Sometimes farmers will blow up a dead cow to dispose of it.
Crow heaven.
Ever watch Caddyshack?

Could it possibly be a MAGA domestic terrorist....... news at 11 (or asap)
I hate reruns:
Shiite! #4 would apply to a hell of a lot of cops who self medicate with alcohol, a lot!
What’s the big deal? We have guys climbing on airplanes out of AFG all the time with explosive material in their carry on. It was just stuff he needed tp do his job. No biggie!
Isn't there a ghastly video of Oregon officials blowing up a dead beached whale?
Never quite understood the "blow up" plan. I mean sure, you get to play with explosives and make a big bang but... Outside nuclear explosions matter doesn't disappear. You're not getting rid of the dead flesh, just distributing it fairly widely...
The guy is black.
So all he has to say is blm and they will let him go.
Exactly. Is this a new law the scumbags passed while I slept
I suppose Everyone involved had on an FBI jacket.
Yeah, look on youtube.
Some place outlawed blowing up cows because it was decided that it distressed other cows too much.
