Man rigged home with 'Indiana Jones' booby traps and wheelchair that shot FBI officer

A conniving man set up Indiana Jones-style booby traps including a wheelchair that shot an FBI officer after he lost his home in a lawsuit battle.

Gregory Lee Rodvelt, 71, from Oregon, US, was found guilty by a jury on Tuesday of hospitalising an officer after learning the government had appointed a lawyer to sell off his property in Williams, Oregon.

Rodvelt, who was already in jail in an Arizona prison for a separate incident, confessed to the FBI ahead of the raid that "fishing line and a tripwire" were deliberately placed “across the property gate that went to a round hot tub that was on its side set to roll down the hill and hit whoever comes through the gate."
