A member of the “Bundy gang”, which occupied a federal government office in Oregon for 40 days earlier this year, has been arrested for threatening to shoot law enforcement officers.
Scott A. Willingham said he would carry out the threat if he was not arrested for his role in the stand-off, according to the district attorney’s office.
The 49 year old was arrested Wednesday after he told a Grant County sheriff’s deputy that if he wasn’t jailed that day, he would "start shooting federal law enforcement officers" the next morning.
At the time of his arrest at a motel in Mount Vernon, Willingham was in possession of a semi-automatic rifle with 230 rounds of .308-caliber ammunition, according to Grant County District Attorney Jim Carpenter.
