A former famous Idaho gubernatorial candidate fought the law and the law in Utah, finally one. Ammon Bundy, known for his standoffs with the federal government, state government, and Saint Luke’s Healthcare Systems, was recently arrested, not in Idaho, but in Utah.

A fight Mr. Bundy Lost

Mr. Bundy took on one entity that he could not beat, Saint Luke's. Channel 7 explains what happened:

In 2023, the Idaho court found that Bundy's and Rodriguez's statements were knowingly false and intended to cause reputational harm. A jury awarded St. Luke's and three employees approximately $52.5 million in damages for defamation and related claims.

Mr. Bundy left Idaho and was living with family members on the low until he was arrested according to the Iron County Sherriff's Office.
