LAS VEGAS (AP) — The adult son of a Nevada rancher who hosted armed protesters against federal agents in a cattle roundup dispute in April acknowledged Monday that he faces arrest in a separate criminal case stemming from his felony conviction on burglary and weapon charges.
Cliven Lance Bundy, 34, said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press that he knows he's named in a contempt-of-court warrant issued July 8 in Las Vegas for failing to appear before a Clark County District Court judge who oversees a drug diversion program.
"I'm trying to get ahold of my counselor to see what I'm supposed to do," said Lance Bundy, who is not currently represented by a lawyer.
Bundy said he underwent outpatient surgery the day the warrant was issued and has been recuperating at his parents' home in Bunkerville, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
The court record shows Bundy missed several previous hearings, and that officials said they were unable to reach him to notify him of court dates.
He could face two to eight years in state prison if he is found in violation of terms of the five years' probation imposed after he pleaded guilty in February 2013 to felony burglary and weapon theft charges.
Bundy attributed his conviction to an addiction to opiate pain killers, and said he has been getting counseling.
Bundy's parents, Cliven and Carol Bundy, said they thought their son obtained medical releases from the court-ordered drug program.

We cannot afford this continuing war on drugs; it is unwinnable and costs too much. Rehab instead of prison.

The current problem at the border with the fleeing children asking for asylum ....
Their countries are shit holes of crime and despair because of drug cartels and gangs. If drugs were legal, a lot of the crime in Central America would disappear.

i don't agree with fully legalizing drugs into an over the counter business but the war on drugs has been a boon for the drug cartels and organized crime as well as the peripheral services sector that deals with this...attorneys, correctional centers run for profit....but then that's kind of like an early version of iraq....for pretty much any kind of public policy, it is always a good idea to ask where's the money in this thing and whose hands are in it? kinda like the lotteries that were going to fund education...yeah, i haven't seen that happen either...or the casinos that were going to make everyone fat and happy in places like atlantic city...where they are now laying off workers and shutting casinos..turns out the money was in building them not running them...
