TO PLACE AN AD Far-right activist Ammon Bundy speaks to a crowd of about 50 followers in front of the Ada County Court- house April 3 in downtown Boise, Idaho. Bundy, who’s running for governor in Idaho, has been arrested after refusing to leave a hospital in connection with a child-welfare case, police said Saturday. Police: Ammon Bundy arrested in trespassing case associated Press MERIDIAN, Idaho — Far- right activist Ammon Bundy, who’s running for governor in Idaho, has been arrested after refusing to leave a hospital in connection with a child-wel- fare case, police said Saturday. Bundy was arrested at about 1:15 a.m. on suspicion of mis- demeanor trespassing at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Cen- ter in Meridian, west of Boise, the Idaho Statesman reported. Bundy is well-known for participating in armed stand- offs with law enforcement, no- tably at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016, which left one man dead, and on federal land near his family’s ranch in Nevada in 2014. He’s also scheduled to stand trial this week on three charges from a previous trespassing case at the Idaho Capitol. The arrest Saturday con- cerned a 10-month-old deter- mined to be “suffering from severe malnourishment” and at risk of injury or death, the Meridian Police Department said in a news release. The ba- by’s parents had refused to let officers check on its welfare after the family canceled an ap- pointment. Bundy urged his followers to go to the hospital to support the family. Bundy wrote on Twitter on Saturday that “last night my very good friend Diego’s grandson was medically kid- napped because a medical practitioner called (child pro- tective services) for a missed doctor appointment. If this happened to them, it could happen to you.” One other person was ar- rested on suspicion of trespass- ing at the hospital, and two people were arrested earlier Friday in a related incident on suspicion of resisting or ob- structing police. Bundy, of Emmett, was charged in the Oregon and Ne- vada standoffs. He was acquit- ted in Oregon and the Nevada charges were dismissed after a mistrial. He is set to go on trial Mon- day for two charges of misde- meanor trespassing and one charge of resisting or obstruct- ing officers after he was ar- rested twice in one day at the Idaho Capitol in April 2021. At the time he was subject to a one-year ban from the State- house due to previous trespass- ing, when he refused to leave an auditorium at the Idaho Statehouse in August 2020 during a protest of the Legis- lature’s special session and was rolled out of the building by police in a chair.

Oregon Public Broadcast- ing reported this week that the state Justice Department charged Anthony Reeves with first-degree official mis- conduct, a misdemeanor, over the arrest of Michael Fesser. The Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office found Reeves colluded with former Chief Terry Timeus to arrest Fesser as a favor to Eric Benson, Fesser’s then- boss. Fesser had previously com- plained about a hostile work- place, citing incidents of rac- ism directed at him. “It appears the (West Linn Police Department’s) involve- ment in this investigation was driven by Chief Timeus’ personal friendship with Mr. Benson,” the Clackamas County district attorney’s in- vestigation said. The DA’s investigation found Reeves illegally sur- veilled Fesser, exchanged and deleted racist texts with Fesser’s boss, and withheld evidence. In 2020, the city of West Linn agreed to pay Fesser $600,000 to settle a lawsuit. Benson and his company, A&B Towing, paid Fesser $415,000 to settle a discrim- ination and retaliation law- suit. The city of West Linn fired Reeves in 2020 after the district attorney said he would not call him as a wit- ness in any case he investi- gated. Reeves’ lawyer David Lesh didn’t respond to messages seeking comment from The Oregonian. No court date has been set for his appearance on the charge, the newspaper reported.
