Just days before opening statements in the third “Battle of Bunkerville” trial this year, a national park ranger testified Friday that the FBI had a surveillance camera pointed at the Bundy Ranch back in 2014.
The revelation came during a pretrial hearing Friday in Las Vegas, in which Ryan Bundy, who is representing himself, questioned National Park Service ranger Mary Hinson, according to The Oregonian.
Ryan Bundy is on trial with his brother, Ammon, and his father, Cliven, as well as a fourth defendant, Ryan Payne. Opening statements kick off Tuesday and the trial is expected to last about four months.
The defendants face a slew of charges in connection with the nearly weeklong armed standoff that happened about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas in April 2014. Bureau of Land Management agents came to Cliven Bundy’s ranch to round up his cattle in lieu of $1 million in backed grazing fees that Bundy had refused to pay over two decades. The federal agents eventually retreated, and no shots were fired.
