SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A southern Utah county commissioner ... calls charges against him "a modern-day witch hunt" in documents appealing a conviction for his role in an ATV protest ride ...

Lyman is appealing after a jury found him and a co-defendant, blogger Monte Wells, guilty of federal misdemeanors in the 2014 ride. It took place shortly after the government standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy over similar issues.

Federal prosecutors say he led the ride through parts of Recapture Canyon closed to motor vehicles to protect ruins that are nearly 2,000 years old.
