A civil arrest warrant was issued April 18 for Ammon Bundy, with his bail set at $10,000. For nearly a year, the anti-government militant has repeatedly failed to show up in court to face a defamation lawsuit filed against him by St. Luke’s Health System. Bundy’s complete disregard for every legal obligation is a perfect encapsulation of the deadbeat-dad ethos the Bundy welfare family has practiced for decades.
Bundy is now holed up on his Idaho property, hiding out from the contempt charge he is facing, and the Gem County sheriff has been too afraid—or perhaps too empathetic—to actually arrest him. A trip by St. Luke’s lawyers to the state Supreme Court seems to have helped reignite the sheriff’s courage, and on Day 9 of the Bundy squat-off, video was released showing county sheriff's deputies arriving at the Bundy property to serve him with an arrest warrant.
The pathway to the home was blocked by a Three Percenter militia member and his truck. The video shows the deputies asking if Ammon Bundy is in the residence and who everybody is, but Bundy’s militia detail refuses to answer any questions.
