GOOD!
Authorities should wait for these clowns to leave their little "compound" and nab them one at a time!
Authorities make first arrest in Bundy standoff by nabbing militant driving a federal vehicle to grocery store
The standoff with armed militia in Oregon escalated on Friday after police swooped on one of the protesters to make the first arrest in connection with the two-week occupation of a federal wildlife refuge
The suspect, arrested over allegedly unauthorized use of a government vehicle, was detained outside a Safeway supermarket in Burns, Oregon, some 30 miles from the Malheur national wildlife refuge.

He appears to have driven to the supermarket in a vehicle allegedly stolen from the the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge for rare birds.
Armed militia have been seen driving the government vehicles around the refuge ever since they took over the site in protest over federal land management policies earlier this month.
Police identified the suspect as Kenneth Medenbach, 62, of Crescent, Oregon.
“He was arrested on probable cause for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle,” the Harney County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.
“Law enforcement officers recovered two vehicles stolen from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) had previously reported the vehicles stolen to the Harney County Sheriff’s Office.”
A USFWS spokesperson Megan Nagel said: “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is grateful for the quick actions from law enforcement. We will continue to work with law enforcement to recover vehicles bought and paid for by the American people to care for their national wildlife refuge.”
According to one local report , the two vehicles, one a pickup truck and one a passenger van, bore door signs reading “Harney County Resource Center” – the new name occupiers have given to the occupied sanctuary.
More soon.
