Arrogant ass. this happens because empowered right wingers so rarely face legal consequences for their actions. So they keep acting out.
Ammon Bundy, wanted for arrest in Idaho, reportedly in Utah
Ammon Bundy, the far-right antigovernment crusader, is reportedly hiding out in southern Utah after fleeing a $50 million legal verdict and arrest warrant in Idaho. Bellingcat investigators used videos Bundy posted online to track him to Washington County.

Ammon Bundy, the far-right antigovernment crusader, is reportedly hiding out in southern Utah after fleeing a $50 million legal verdict and arrest warrant in Idaho.
Independent investigative unit Bellingcat used clues in Bundy’s videos, including a school calendar magnet on a refrigerator, to geolocate his position in Washington County.
Bundy led a harassment campaign against an Idaho hospital and its staff after the grandson of one of Bundy’s supporters was temporarily taken removed from the family and treated at St. Luke’s Regional Health for allegedly being malnourished.
The hospital sued for defamation and won a more than $50 million judgment. Bundy repeatedly refused to appear for the legal proceedings, leading to an arrest warrant on contempt of court charges.
“I have no concerns, I have not been hiding but working and providing for my family”, Bundy told Bellingcat. “At any time peace officers could find me if they wish. I pray that Utah has a stronger sense to protect free speech than Idaho does”, he wrote.
