The man who allegedly led police on a high-speed chase in a pickup truck while waving pipe bombs out the window in West Springfield earlier this month is being found competent to stand trial.
Robert Decoteau of Russell pleaded not guilty in Springfield District Court on Friday to charges of possession of explosives and making bomb threats.
It was his first court appearance since the May 1st incident, which was followed by an ordered psychiatric exam to determine his competency.
Decoteau is being held without bail and will have a dangerousness hearing regarding his bail on Friday.
