CLEVELAND -- A federal judge in Ohio has ordered a mental evaluation for a former doctor charged with possessing dozens of pipe bombs in his apartment.
Fifty-six-year-old Mark Campano of Cuyahoga Falls was injured when two explosions rocked his apartment in November. He's charged with having about 37 unregistered pipe bombs.
Judge Donald Nugent in Cleveland on Thursday ordered the mental health evaluation, which was requested by Campano's defense attorney. Campano has pleaded not guilty.
Medical board records show Campano, a former anesthesiologist who has practiced in Ohio and West Virginia, has a history of substance abuse dating to 1987. His Ohio medical license was revoked in 2006.
His mother says her son didn't intend to harm anyone and detonated the devices in remote areas as a hobby.
