Man faces drug,

explosive charges

BOARDMAN – Joseph K. Barnes, 30, of Roche Way in Boardman, was arraigned on drunken driving, unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, drug possession, possessing drug-abuse instruments and drug paraphernalia possession after an incident Monday on Market Street.

Police found Barnes unresponsive in his pickup truck off the right side of the road. When an officer turned off the truck and yelled, Barnes woke up but was sweating heavily, and his speech was slurred.

Police found drug syringes, a smoking pipe, suspected drugs and five homemade explosives in the truck with Barnes. The Youngstown Bomb Squad secured the explosives, which the bomb squad called “highly unstable.”
