New Indictment in Bundy Case Adds Charges, Defendant

A new indictment was unsealed Wednesday morning against Ammon Bundy and 25 others for their actions related to the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge earlier this year.

The indictment adds charges as well as a new defendant whose name has been blacked out, implying he may not have been arrested yet.

For the first time the defendants are charged with actually damaging part of the refuge, which the government describes as "an archaeological site considered sacred to the Burns Paiute Tribe."

According to the indictment, defendant Sean Anderson and the defendant whose name has not been unsealed caused the damage by "excavation and the use of heavy equipment."

In addition, several defendants also face weapons and theft charges.

The indictment was unsealed one day after law enforcement officials revealed that FBI agents are being investigated for their actions the day LaVoy Finicum, one of the leaders of the occupation, was killed and in the aftermath.
