Another warrant has been issued for the arrest of one of rancher
Cliven Bundy’s sons, a little more than a month after he was released
from jail. Bundy’s 34-year-old son, Cliven Lance Bundy, failed to
appear in court this week for a hearing before Judge Linda Marie Bell,
who issued a warrant for his arrest. The younger Bundy was arrested last month for criminal contempt and parole violations on burglary and weapons theft charges. Bell had issued a warrant for Bundy in July
after he didn’t appear for a drug diversion program hearing. He had
undergone hip surgery the day the July hearing was scheduled, according
to his father. The younger Bundy was ordered last month to report
to an intensive drug treatment facility in Las Vegas, according to his
lawyer Jeff Rue, with the Clark County Public Defender’s Office. In February 2013, the son pleaded guilty to felony burglary and weapon theft charges. The
younger Bundy, one of the rancher’s seven sons and seven daughters, was
not part of the armed protest against federal agents in a cattle
roundup dispute earlier this year, his father said.
