The Bundy Ranch has reported another son of Cliven Bundy has been arrested by the FBI:
URGENT: Davey Bundy has just been arrested by the FBI in Millard County Utah in an operation of about 20 FBI vehicles. UPDATE: It looks like he is being taken to Salt Lake.
The Millard County Sheriff was called and dispatch confirmed that he was arrested in the County and that the sheriff knew but was not on site, that the FBI does not need Sheriff permission to operate in the County.
No! The gosh darn sheriff let the big bad FBI into the county to take another Bundy! Maybe, unlike the Bundys, the sheriff learned a lesson — you can’t aim weapons at federal agents and not pay the price. No word yet on the exact charges yet, but he likely faces the same federal charges as his father, Cliven Bundy, and his two brothers, Ammon and Ryan Bundy.
Cliven Bundy’s son wasn’t the only one arrested by the FBI today. Standoff participant and New Hampshire Tea Party activist Jeremy Delemus is also being fitted for federal handcuffs:
Federal agents have arrested Jerry DeLemus, a local Tea Party leader who stood with Cliven Bundy armed resistance in Oregon this year and in Nevada in 2014.
DeLemus is facing nine federal charges based on an indictment brought in Nevada, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer and several firearms charges, according to court records.
State Rep. Susan DeLemus, R-Rochester, confirmed that FBI agents arrested her husband Thursday morning. Fighting back tears, she told the Union Leader that was all she would say about the arrest at this point.
Here’s Jerry Delemus in a 2014 video recorded at the Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada. He proudly describes himself as the “commander of the base camp,” helpfully documenting his role in the armed insurrection. Oh, the man behind the camera is Jason Patrick. He’s also in federal custody and facing federal charges.
These arrests would indicate that more arrests are imminent. And again, hats off to the FBI for making the arrests without violence. Let’s hope that streak continues as they do their job to round up the others.
