• landed him in jail last year , Arizona officials released Rodvelt from custody for two weeks in mid-August so he could tie up loose ends and prepare to turn over his property, according to the federal complaint.
  
  Joseph Charter, the estate's acting receiver, contacted authorities on Aug. 29 when he discovered a sign posted on Rodvelt's property that claimed it was now "protected with improvised devices," according to court records.
  
  Ten days later, the FBI agent and state bomb technicians set out to dismantle the property's assorted ****y traps, including the hot tub that had been placed at the top of a hill near a gate by the entrance of the home.
  
  "Upon closer examination, the technicians discovered that the spa was rigged in such a manner that when the gate was opened it would activate a mechanical trigger that would cause the spa to roll towards the person at the gate," the complaint reads.
  
  "[It was] much like a scene from the movie 'Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark' in which actor Harrison Ford is forced to outrun a giant stone boulder that he inadvertently triggered by a ****y trap switch."
  
  After slipping by the hot tub, the bomb squad and FBI agent approached the property's manufactured home and blasted open its fortified front door, the complaint says.
  
  Inside the home, court records show, they discovered in the hallway a wheelchair that, unbeknownst to them, was outfitted with a fishing line, shotgun ammunition and other items.
  
  Somehow, the wheelchair got pushed and triggered the explosion that wounded the agent.
  
  The agent was rushed to a hospital in Grants Pass, about 15 miles away. An X-ray found a .410-gauge shotgun pellet in the agent's left leg below the knee.
  
  Rodvelt was questioned by authorities back in Arizona and eventually charged. He faces one felony count of assault on a federal officer.
  
  Records show Rodvelt faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest and failure to mark explosives in connection to his arrest stemming from the 2017 standoff.

Why is it awesome?

Why is it awesome?

It inspires awe

And I like the “home alone,” movies

I dont understand why its illegal to protect you home.

Because it's indiscriminate, and there are (legally) legitimate reasons for people to be entering your home. Emergency responders are the classic example.

Anyone who thinks it's Awesome when a Law Enforcement Officer gets hurt in the line of duty, is an.....!

Though an armed standoff outside Phoenix landed him in jail last year. Arizona officials released Rodvelt from custody for two weeks in mid-August so he could tie up loose ends and prepare to turn over his property, according to the federal complaint.

Yep, he prepared his property all right.

I was on an Engine crew and we responded to a call on a heart attack. As we were walking up the steps a guy stepped out to hold the door open for us. As we were going in, I noticed a sign on the outside wall beside the door.

“Enter at your own risk. This property is wired with explosives and ****y traps”.

We stopped in our tracks and started backing out and the guy holding the door started screaming at us to go inside and help his dad. We pointed out the sign and he then said that it was just there to keep solicitors away. We finally went in and took care of his dad and turned him over to the ambulance crew.

He got a visit from the PD and they called us later and told us it was BS, that there were no explosives or traps.
