CEDAR CITY — Cliven Bundy's 42-year-old son was arrested this week after police say he resisted arrest inside a justice court.

Iron County Sheriff's Sgt. Nik Johnson says the incident with Ryan Bundy occurred Tuesday in a court in Cedar City. Ryan Bundy was in court for a separate matter when deputies confronted him about an arrest warrant.

Johnson says Ryan Bundy told deputies he wasn't going to allow himself to be arrested and got into a scuffle before being detained.

Bundy was booked for investigation of resisting arrest. Johnson says the warrant was for interfering with an officer, but he didn't have any other details.

Cliven Bundy is a Nevada rancher whose backers faced down federal agents to end a cattle roundup last year.
