A federal agent who had a key role in the armed 2014 ‘Battle of Bunkerville’ standoff no longer works for the Bureau of Land Management.
Daniel Love had been serving as special agent in charge for BLM in Utah and Nevada in recent years, but is no longer with the agency, according to the Associated Press.
Love still worked there on Aug. 24, when the feds released a report that said he’d handed out valuable rocks to colleagues “like candy.” The rocks, known as moqui marbles, had been held as evidence. The agency had thousands of them valued at between $160,000 to $520,000. The report said Love told a federal employee to get some of the rocks from storage so he could give them out as gifts.
Love served in a command role during the six-day standoff in April 2014 that saw BLM agents pitted against dozens of armed ranchers at Cliven Bundy’s cattle ranch in southeast Nevada. Nearly 20 people have been arrested in connection with the standoff, and several are awaiting trial.
