Ammon Bundy agreed to plead guilty on Monday in exchange for a $1,000 fine, a 90-day suspended jail sentence, and a year of unsupervised probation. He’ll avoid prison time if he abides by the terms of his probation.
Bundy, who rose to fame in a pair ofagainst law enforcement in 2014 and 2016, currently leads the right-wing activist group People’s Rights Movement. In spring 2022, the group demonstrated outside an Idaho hospital that was treating a member’s grandson for severe malnourishment. Bundy, who claimed the child had been kidnapped, blocked an ambulance bay, temporarily causing emergency vehicles to be rerouted to other medical centers.
Shortly before Monday’s scheduled jury trial in the criminal trespassing case, Bundy again appeared to threaten action. In a document labeled“My only desire is to be left alone!” Bundy wrote. “But I cannot stand by when the rights to life, liberty and property are being violated all around me. It is my belief that if a man or woman smites me or my family once I should bear it patiently and not revile against them. If they smite me or my family a second time, I should not revile against them.
Bundy’s message is full of false statements,” Erik Stidham, a lawyer representing St. Luke’s told The Daily Beast on Monday morning. “I would highlight that Bundy never made an offer to St. Luke’s in the criminal case. St. Luke’s does not control the criminal case; the prosecutor does. As the victim of the trespass, St. Luke’s only has the right to be informed of plea negotiations.”
