STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE

CYB Location Code: OR45

U.S. Violation Notice Number: 628679216286793
On 10/27/2016 at approximately 1620 how-s~ I was working on the 9th floor of the Hatfield
Courthouse, located at 1000 SW 3rd Ave, assisting in providing security during the US v. Bundy
trails. After the verdict was rendered, A/Marcus R MU~ORD
the defense
attorney for Anunon BUNDY grew increasingly agitated after learning that his client would not
be released due to a US Marshal hold regarding pending out-of-state Federal charges. As
Marshals moved forward to escort BUNDY out of the courtroo~ A/MUMFORD positioned his
body so as to block the Marshals from taking BUNDY into custody and began yelling in protest.

Deputy Marshal HELSING, instructed A/MUMFORD to lower his voice and stand do~ which
A/MUNIFORDdid not do. After several verbal attempts to calm A/MUMFORD failed and
resulted in A/MUMFORD only becoming more agitated; flailing his arms and raising his voice
even louder, Deputy Marshal GANGWISCH and ALF ANO moved forward to escort
A/MUMFORD out of the courtroom.
A/MUMFORD, who was yelling so loud that his voice could be heard outside the closed
courtroom doors, lowered body weigh~ widened his stance and brought his shoulders up toward
his head. Based on my training and experience as a police officer and a combat veteran, these
physical responses are pre-assault indicators, consistent with an individual preparing for a
combative and physical altercation. Deputy Marshall GANGWISCH moved forward and
attempted to gain control of A/MUMFORD using a standard law enforcement grasp on
AIMUMFORDS upper arm. All\ifi.J?vlFORD flailed his arm away, jerking free of Deputy
GANGWISCH's grasp. A/MUMFORD then squared his body off with Deputy GANGWISCH

and raised his clenched fists in what appeared to be a boxer's stance.

A brief struggle ensued and A/MUMFORD was taken into custody. My observation of
A/MUMFORD's actions gave me probable cause to arrest, cite and release A/MUMFORD for
violating 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 102-74.385; Failure to comply '\Ni.th the lawful
directives of Federal Police officers and for violating 41 CFR 102-74.390(c): DisturbancesImpedes or disrupts the performance of official government duties.
