Bevin Arrested for Ignoring Court Orders | Lexington News

Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin was arrested after ignoring repeated court orders to submit financial records tied to his divorce and child support case. Judge Angela Johnson issued a warrant, sentenced him to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine, and warned the warrant remains active until documents are delivered. The legal battle began when his ex-wife provided her finances but Bevin didn’t — a pattern that led to prior contempt charges. He offered bizarre excuses, including claiming a boulder fell on his Maine home preventing his appearance, and even tried to join a hearing via Zoom — which the judge rejected. His last-ditch extension request was denied, triggering the arrest. The situation is still unfolding as legal proceedings continue.
