MERCER, Pa. – An Ohio man led police on a 20-mile chase in two states and, when officers finally caught up to him in a cornfield, he claimed to have a bomb strapped to his body, authorities said.

Police 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.
