Ammon Bundy, far-right activist and Idaho gubernatorial candidate, arrested for trespassing – By Muri Assunção (New York Daily News) / March 12, 2022
Ammon Bundy, a far-right activist who’s running to become Idaho’s next governor as an independent, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday for allegedly refusing to leave a hospital, police said.
According to the Meridian Police Department, Bundy was among a group of people who showed up at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center and refused to leave the property.
Bundy, the leader of the People’s Rights movement, was arrested just after 1 a.m. Saturday morning on misdemeanor charges. He was booked into the Ada County Jail.
The 46-year-old militant, who first made headlines in 2014 for participating in a confrontation with law enforcement near his family’s ranch in Nevada, is scheduled to stand trial next week on three charges from a previous trespassing case at the Idaho Capitol.
