Leader of Oregon occupation Ammon Bundy, at least 8 others detained

BY KATU.COM STAFF TUESDAY, JANUARY 26TH 2016

HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — KATU News has learned the leader of the armed occupation at Malheur Wildlife Refuge - Ammon Bundy - has been detained, along with at least eight other individuals Tuesday evening.

Officials said it all began with a traffic stop while Bundy and some of his followers were en route to a community meeting in John Day, about 70 miles away.

Shots were fired after FBI agents, Oregon State troopers and other law enforcement agencies made the stop. CNN reports its unclear who fired first.

Details of the arrest and confrontation remain unknown, but charges are pending related to the group's 25-day takeover of the wildlife refuge.

CNN also has it, and a few others.

Information is still not that good, but my urgent question is... what federal penitentiary do we send the urgently needed snacks to?

and no, not willing to make an exception... but point taken.

Ah the deliciousness that these good guys with a gun will no longer be eligible to get more guns.

Embedded wacko "reporter" Pete Santilli's live feed. Choppy, cuts out, but live dialogue among those running scared b/c one of those arrested had the keys to the truck in his pocket. LOL

going to do anything.

Seems the authorities played this pretty smart, lulled them into thinking that was going to go on forever and arrested them on one of their trips out of the refuge.

Pretty arrogant, and dumb of those seditionists to think they were above the law if you ask me.
