Former Governor Bevin Sent to Jail | Louisville News

Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is heading to jail for 60 days after a judge ruled he must serve his full sentence for civil contempt — stemming from his refusal to hand over divorce and child support records. Arrested while working as an extra on a Christmas movie set, Bevin’s attorney claimed one night in jail was enough to get him to comply — but the judge sided with his estranged son’s legal team, calling Bevin’s behavior a “complete disregard” for the court. She emphasized that no former official is above the law, and while she may consider early release after 30 days if he shows improvement, Bevin will serve his full term — a sobering moment highlighting how even powerful figures face consequences when they ignore court orders.
