Bundy arrested, jailed ahead of arraignment

摘要

Anti-government activist Ammon Bundy is set to be arraigned this afternoon on charges that he failed to appear for a state misdemeanor trial following his arrest outside a local courthouse yesterday. Ada County Magistrate Judge David Manweiler issued a bench warrant for Bundy's arrest yesterday when the Idaho man refused to comply with public health mandates- specifically, donning a face mask-and was refused access to the courthouse (Greenwire, March 15). Bundy had been set to face trial on charges stemming from his arrest last August at the Idaho State Capitol, where he took part in protests against state coronavirus restrictions like stay-at-home orders and mask mandates.
