Ammon Bundy, known best for his role in a standoff against the Bureau of Land Management, was arrested at the Idaho Capitol Aug. 25 after refusing to leave a hearing room, according to the Idaho Press.
Bundy had attended a session on a civil liability bill earlier in the day. Bundy told the news outlet he was upset about “citizen journalists” being removed from the proceedings and sat at the press desk in an apparent form of protest. Bundy refused to stand when approached by authorities, and was handcuffed to the wheeled chair he was sitting on and rolled out of the building.
On Monday, Bundy had testified against proposed civil liability waiver legislation, saying, “The Idaho people are more than capable of keeping themselves safe… We the people are tired. We are tired of government force, and we will only take it for so long. I recommend you act wisely, because we will not live in fear.”
Bundy and a group of supporters filled the House gallery in protest Monday morning, smashing a glass door in the process. No arrests were made on Monday.
