Bodycam video has been released showing the moment Ammon Bundy was stopped and arrested in southern Utah, according to a October 27 report.
The footage captured a traffic stop that resulted in Bundy being sent to jail on multiple charges.
The video shows that Bundy was initially stopped for having what appeared to be a blacked out license plate. During the interaction, a deputy asked if the truck was registered, to which Bundy replied that it was not. When asked for the reason for the lack of registration, Bundy told the deputy to talk to his lawyer. Bundy stated he had owned the vehicle for approximately two years.
According to the footage, Bundy argued with law enforcement regarding the stop. With assistance from other law enforcement officers, the deputy physically removed Bundy from the vehicle and placed him face down on the ground while securing him in handcuffs.
Booking records from the Iron County Sheriff’s Office indicate Bundy was arrested on four offenses, including driving without registration and interfering with a peace officer. Bundy was later released on bail.
Bundy has previously led protests at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and involving St. Luke’s in Boise.
