Extremist Idaho Gov Candidate Jailed For Contempt

The Idaho Statesman reports:

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,” the judge told Ammon Bundy. https://t.co/RHqTdQnCJf
