According to the report, Bundy also had been keeping surplus containers and clothing, which violated jail rules. He was written up for those violations, but never faced formal reprimand for the jail break attempt.

Bundy denied the prosecution's accusation, arguing he was just “a rancher trying to practice braiding rope," according to OPB.

“It’s self-serving speculation,” OPB reported Bundy said at the hearing.
