Ohio ex-doctor gets 4-plus years in pipe bomb case

CLEVELAND – A former Ohio doctor has been sentenced to four years and four months in prison for keeping dozens of pipe bombs in his apartment near Akron.

Fifty-seven-year-old Mark Campano, of Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) Falls, was sentenced Friday in Cleveland.

He pleaded guilty in September to one federal count of possessing unregistered weapons. His attorney said in a sentencing memo that Campano understands that he faces a lifetime of mental-health treatment.

Campano was injured when two explosions rocked his apartment a year ago. Agents found 37 pipe bombs and two homemade gun silencers.

Medical board records show the former anesthesiologist practiced in Ohio and West Virginia and has a history of substance abuse.
