Ammon Bundy headed to jail after Idaho judge says he 'consistently' defied orders

Source: Idaho Statesman

Far-right leader Ammon Bundy is heading to jail for 10 days.

The gubernatorial candidate was found guilty of being in contempt of court Thursday after he refused to complete 40 hours of community service related to a July 2021 conviction. Bundy had argued that the stops made during his gubernatorial campaign satisfy his court-mandated community service.

Ada County Magistrate Judge Annie McDevitt sentenced Bundy to 10 days in jail along with a $3,000 fine. He was immediately handcuffed and taken to the Ada County Jail on Thursday.

"You didn't just blow it off. Rather, you took the time and effort to blatantly disrespect the court's order, making a mockery of the sentence you received," McDevitt told Bundy. "You were given an opportunity to go complete public service -- you could have done it."

Oh, please.

A community service would be if you left the country.

I read this on a page I can’t find right now, but Ammon threatened to take the houses, cars and personal property of the troopers who arrested him. This is standard SC dogma.
