But the complaint, based on the affidavit of FBI agent Katherine Armstrong, alleges that Bundy's group of militiamen also descended upon the community of Burns and scared local residents.
Arizona man and known anti-Muslim activist Jon Ritzheimer (who has since been arrested) allegedly intimidated at least one community member. According to the complaint, Ritzheimer and one other person who is not identified in the account, allegedly approached a woman wearing a Bureau of Land Management shirt at a local Safeway on December 18, 2015 and made threats against her. The document alleges that the unnamed individual was yelling, "You're BLM. You're BLM" at her. That person also allegedly threatened to follow her home and burn her house down.
Ritzheimer and the other individual then left the Safeway in a black pickup truck that had "no visible license plate," the complaint said. After the event the woman alleged that she saw a similar vehicle parked outside of her house and again, at her work on Christmas Day. She also reported seeing another vehicle following her closely at another date.
At the refuge, the affidavit alleges that individuals holed up at Malheur had an arsenal, which included "night vision goggles, explosives and weapons and that if they didn't get the fight they wanted out there, they would bring the fight to town."
