BOISE, Idaho — St. Luke’s Health System has filed paperwork asking an Ada County judge to consider holding far-right leader Ammon Bundy in contempt of court — again.
In court documents filed by Holland & Hart attorney Erik Stidham, St. Luke’s alleged that Bundy violated Fourth District Judge Lynn Norton’s protective order by failing to remove “defamatory statements” on the People’s Rights Network — a far-right group started by Bundy — about St. Luke’s President and CEO Chris Roth.
“A finding of contempt are needed here as Bundy disregards and disrespects the court and continues to disrupt plaintiff’s lives and livelihoods,” according to the memorandum. “Absent a finding of contempt, there is no doubt that Bundy will continue to defy the court.”
