http://www.sltrib.com/home/3541012-155/if-convicted-cliven-bundy-faces-restCliven Bundy is charged in the Nevada case with conspiracy, assault on a federal officer, obstruction, weapon use and possession, extortion to interfere with commerce, and aiding and abetting. If convicted of all six charges, he could spend the rest of his life in federal prison and face more than $1 million in fines.
A Nevada rancher will return to court Tuesday to seek his release from jail in Oregon, where he went to support the armed occupation of a national wildlife preserve led by his sons.
A federal judge was expected to decide at a detention hearing whether Cliven Bundy can go home as he awaits trial. Prosecutors said last week that he should stay behind bars because they do not expect him to show up for future court dates.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-criminal-histories-malheur-refuge-occupationJason Patrick, a 43-year-old Georgia resident and one of the last holdouts at the refuge, faced charges in August 2014 of “making terrorist threats” after he “threatened to kill everyone” inside a Georgia municipal court building, according to prosecutors.
Patrick posted bond in that case and was released, but agreed not to possess weapons – a condition that he has since violated. He was photographed with guns during the occupation, prosecutors noted.
While defendant appears to have ties to the Puget Sound area, they are tenuous at best. Intending to participate in a criminal conspiracy, he travelled to Oregon from Georgia—a state where he also appears to have limited ties. Most importantly, defendant has proven his inability to comply with court-ordered conditions. As defendant notes (Def’s Mem. at 11), he has a pending felony offense in Houston County Georgia for Making Terrorist Threats. The underlying facts of that case demonstrate defendant’s volatility. (Gov’t’s Det. Mem. at 12; Def’s Mem. at 12). Most importantly, defendant was ordered not to possess firearms as a condition of his release on bond in that case. Notwithstanding this condition, defendant travelled across the country to participate in an armed occupation where he was photographed possessing a firearm. (See photos below).
A family member says Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy isn't dangerous or a criminal and should be released from jail because he isn't a flight risk.
Daughter-in-law Briana Bundy said Tuesday that a federal judge in Oregon should let the 69-year-old live at home while he awaits trial.
Prosecutors are calling Cliven Bundy "lawless and violent" and telling the judge not to free him because he doesn't recognize federal authority.
While Bundy claims he is a cattle rancher, his ranching operation – to the extent it can be called that – is unconventional if not bizarre. Rather than manage and control his cattle, he lets them run wild on the public lands with little, if any, human interaction until such time when he traps them and hauls them off to be sold or slaughtered for his own consumption. He does not vaccinate or treat his cattle for disease; does not employ cowboys to control and herd them; does not manage or control breeding; has no knowledge of where all the cattle are located at any given time; rarely brands them before he captures them; and has to bait them into traps in order to gather them.
Nor does he bring his cattle off the public lands in the off-season to feed them when the already sparse food supply in the desert is even scarcer. Raised in the wild, Bundy’s cattle are left to fend for themselves year-round, fighting off predators and scrounging for the meager amounts of food and water available in the difficult and arid terrain that comprises the public lands in that area of the country. Bereft of human interaction, his cattle that manage to survive are wild, mean and ornery.
At the time of the events giving rise to the charges, Bundy’s cattle numbered over 1,000 head, straying as far as 50 miles from his ranch and into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (“LMNRA”, getting stuck in mud, wandering onto golf courses, straying onto the freeway (causing accidents on occasion) – foraging aimlessly and wildly, roaming in small groups over hundreds of thousands of acres
of federal lands that exist for the use of the general public for many other types of commercial and recreational uses such as camping, hunting, and hiking.

Yeah let him live at home and get another 200 armed nutjobs to defend him if someone comes to get him back to court.
