Ohio Man Claims to Have Bomb Strapped to Body

AP reports

MERCER, Pa. (AP) — An Ohio man led police on a 20-mile chase in two states and, when officers finally caught up to him in a cornfield, claimed to have a bomb strapped to his body, authorities said.
Authorities said they found no explosives on Yousef Abdel Adhami or in his car after Monday's events.
Adhami, 38, of Youngstown, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of fleeing and eluding police, threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction and other crimes.
The district judge who arraigned Adhami had no record of an attorney in the case. No listed phone number could be found for Adhami.
Police in Hubbard Township, Ohio, began pursuing Adhami on Monday night after they said radar showed he was driving 69 mph in a 35 mph zone. Pennsylvania State Police said they joined the chase shortly before 11 p.m. and followed Adhami for about eight miles before he drove into a cornfield.
