Oregon Standoff Latest: Ryan Bundy Faces Possible Charges After Jailhouse Incident

Ryan Bundy, one of eight people scheduled to go on trial next month on charges stemming from the 41-day armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, was involved in an incident Tuesday morning at the jail.

Deputies from the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office were getting ready to hand him over to deputies from the U.S. Marshals Office when Bundy resisted.

A sergeant who was trying to handcuff Bundy at the time, forced him to the ground when Bundy turned around to face him.

Several deputies assisted the sergeant in handcuffing Bundy.

He was then checked by medical staff at the jail to make sure he had not been injured. Despite some assertions on social media that Bundy had been bruised, jail officials say that wasn't the case.

Bundy, who is representing himself, was written up for failing to follow orders and fighting with staff.

It wasn't his first problem at the jail.

In April, deputies found about 15 feet of torn up bed sheets tied together to form a rope. Bundy asserted at the time that he was just a rancher working on his rope braiding skills.

He did not face charges related to that incident.

Bundy and his younger brother, Ammon, are considered among the leaders of the group that took over the refuge. Both brothers also face charges in Nevada stemming from the armed confrontation with officers from the Bureau of Land Management who were trying to impound cattle belonging to the Bundys's father, Cliven.
