Court finds Bundy in arrears
The US District Court of Nevada finds Bundy guilty of trespassing on federal land with his cattle as well as finding him in arrears with the BLM, noting that he has not paid grazing fees since 1993. It permanently bans Bundy from grazing his cattle on the Bunkerville allotment. The court commends the BLM’s restraint in not confronting Bundy. Bundy, who represented himself, appeals the ruling and continues to graze his cattle on the land.
