Police: Ammon Bundy
arrested in trespassing case

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.

CHILD CARE
PORTLAND — A fired
West Linn police sergeant
has been criminally charged
for his involvement in the
2017 wrongful arrest of a
Black man, according to the
Oregon Department of Jus-
tice.
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.
