Two men charged in Bundy ranch armed standoff are running for office in Idaho
wo Idaho men charged in an armed standoff with federal agents in Nevada are running for public office.
Eric Parker is running for state senator, Scott Drexler for county sheriff.
Following the 2014 Bunkerville standoff in Nevada, four Idahoans — Parker, of Hailey; Drexler, of Challis; Ammon Bundy, of Emmett; and Todd Engel, of Boundary County — were among nearly 20 defendants arrested in early 2016 as part of a nationwide roundup regarding the armed standoff.
The standoff was sparked after federal officials tried rounding up cattle that belonged to rancher Cliven Bundy, who had refused for years to pay grazing fees.
