Indictments in 2014 Nevada Bundy Ranch Stand-Off
Last week, Cliven Bundy was charged with six counts in the 2014 showdown against federal land managers on the open range where his cattle grazed and fed. A Federal court judge in Oregon denied him bail on Tuesday because he is deemed a flight risk and he has been ordered to be extradited back to his home state of Nevada, where he will answer to federal charges stemming from the 2014 Nevada standoff.

^ Bundy and four others -- Ryan Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Payne, and Pete Santilli -- were indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday and face 16 felony charges relating to the armed standoff the Bundys and their supporters had with the federal government at the Bundy ranch in Nevada back in 2014.
Authorities accuse Cliven Bundy of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, assault on a federal law officer by use of a deadly and dangerous weapon, interference with commerce by extortion and obstruction of justice.
"The defendants recruited, organized, and led hundreds of other followers in using armed force against law enforcement officers in order to thwart the seizure and removal of Cliven Bundy's cattle from federal public lands," the indictment said. "Bundy had trespassed on the public lands for over 20 years, refusing to obtain the legally-required permits or pay the required fees to keep and graze his cattle on the land."
At the time, the federal Bureau of Land Management and local authorities backed down in the face-off, halted the roundup of Bundy's cattle and returned about 300 head to avoid any violence.
Bundy, 69, could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.
