Prosecutors: Ryan Bundy Jail Escape Foiled During Cell Search

Source: OPB (NPR)

Federal prosecutors said Monday that Ryan Bundy tore his bed sheets and braided them together into 12–15 feet of rope in an attempt to escape Multnomah County Jail.

Bundy is at the jail awaiting trial for his role in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation earlier this year.

Speaking during a pretrial hearing in Portland, prosecutors said jail staff found the braided rope during a search of Bundy’s cell on April 8. Federal attorneys also said Bundy had stored a container of extra food in his cell.

Bundy denied that he had any plans to escape the jail, calling himself “a rancher trying to practice braiding rope.”

and given him a few broken bones to recover from while he's waiting to go on trial.

You can make a very serviceable rope out of toilet paper (yes, the perforated stuff) if you know what you're doing.

That entitled asshat piece of shit should be made an example of in the harshest possible terms.

I hope they catch him with contraband and throw him in a hole and throw away the directions to his hole.

Not likely before and certainly not after this.

A very different way to escape.

Add another few years to whatever he gets sentenced to!

Dumb-ass!

have the horse pull the bars out of the wall? Seriously, I think the basic problem with these bozos is that they have watched too many cowboy movies.

Judge refuses to free Oregon standoff leaders before trial

BY DAN WHITCOMB

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a petition by two brothers who led the armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon to be freed ahead of their trial, citing in part what he said was an aborted jailbreak attempt by one of them.

Ammon and Ryan Bundy, who spent a month in January holed up at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon to protest federal land control in the West, sought their release from custody during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Portland on Monday ahead of their September trial.

In rejecting that request in a three-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert Jones said he could not overlook their participation in the standoff with a large arsenal of weapons and their belief that "placing an armed force between officials seeking to enforce lawful orders and themselves is justified by their interpretation of the Constitution."

Both men are charged with conspiracy to use force, intimidation or threats to impede federal officers from discharging their duties.
