LAS VEGAS -- The son of a rural Nevada cattle rancher has been freed from federal custody, a day after his arrest by agents working to remove cattle from disputed grazing areas northeast of Las Vegas.

A U.S. attorney's office spokeswoman in Las Vegas said Monday that 37-year-old Dave Bundy is accused of refusing to disperse and resisting officers.Bundy's mother, Carol Bundy, says U.S. Bureau of Land Management agents arrested her son Sunday in a parked car on State Route 170 near Bunkerville.

Pictures obtained by the 8 News NOW I-Team show where David Bundy had parked his car to take pictures of the cattle eviction.

Bundy says he was only exercising his First Amendment rights when federal officers told him to leave  the area and when he didn't, they grabbed him."Two officers surround me, third one in front of me. They jumped me and took me to the ground. You can see they scraped up my face," Bundy said.Bundy's father, Cliven Bundy, says his cattle are entitled to graze in the Gold Butte area."They steal my cattle, and that is bad enough. But they make my son a political prisoner," Cliven Bundy said. 

This weekend wranglers, hired by the federal government, started  removing cattle owned by Bundy from a stretch of land near the Virgin River Gorge.

The Federal thuggery continues to get worse. This man's family has been grazing their cattle on this land since 1880, and a family member was arrested for filming BLM agents. BLM set up a "free speech zone" several miles away for protesters.

This is what Holder meant by “You don’t want to go there, Gohmert!”

OR ELSE.. he’s going to have Federal Agents raiding your friends and families homes.

“He was there to do some filming when about 11 federal agents pulled up and arrested him,” Bundy told Las Vegas News 3. “They said he was outside of the First Amendment area and they took him down. We don’t know where he is now.”

That I agree with 100%. But that’s not the problem here, they ran cows on land they had not leased.

Our Masters are just doing their duty driving up the beef prices so that none of the hoi polloi will be able to afford it.

There’s going to come a day when people are pushed to the breaking point... This rancher is the last of 52 others who have been run off.

"they ran cows on land they had not leased."

There is a more complicated back history.

The question is can the livestock and the indigenous species on the gov't land reach an accommodation?

Should the gov't land belong to the gov't?

I wonder what the Feds are planning on doing with the rustled cattle? Who will they redistribute it to? There is a serious beef shortage as it is so now is the perfect time for the gov’t to steal one of the few rancher’s cattle that are still grazing on the people’s (not the gov’t’s) land.
