CBS2 reports jury selection continues in the trespass case of Ammon Bundy of Emmett.
But it is more than a simple trespass case as it involves a well known anti-government activist who wants to be governor as well as the heightened tensions over Covid-19 restrictions late last summer.
In August 2020, Ammon Bundy was arrested twice over a two-day period at the Idaho State Capitol after leading a large group of maskless protesters who were protesting the Idaho stay-at-home order and related Idaho COVID-19 legislation.
Bundy was first arrested on August 25, 2020, and charged with criminal trespass for actively disrupting legislative hearings and refusing to leave the building when directed to do so by the Speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives.
Bundy was also charged with resisting arrest. He was arrested again on August 26, 2020, for criminal trespass and resisting arrest after returning to the Idaho State Capitol Building shortly after posting bail for the first offense.
Jury selection started Monday morning in the August 25, 2020 trespass case which could go at least a couple of days once the jury is seated.
