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 1215 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 Bundys 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.

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

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.
