BUNDY FAMILY MEMBER'S ATTEMPT TO DELIVER LETTER TO INTERIOR SECRETARY ZINKE STOPPED

ATTEMPT CAME WHILE RYAN ZINKE WAS MEETING WITH LOCAL RANCHERS DURING A TOUR OF SOUTHERN NEVADA-UTAH AREA AROUND BUNDY RANCH

Brianna Bundy is the wife of Mel Bundy, one of Cliven Bundy's sons arrested in connection with the April 12, 2014 Bunkerville Standoff.

Mel is jailed indefinitely without bail and still awaiting trial for around 18 months now.

She wrote a letter earlier this year to the new Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke.

Zinke visited the area around Bundy Ranch late last month and during his visit Brianna Bundy approached the site where he was meeting with local ranchers to attempt delivery of her letter.

But she was rebuffed from her attempt by Zinke's security escort and police were called to the scene.

A video of the incident was posted on Facebook by activist Kelli Stewart and also on Gavin Seim's Facebook page on Sunday July 30th.

Stewart captions her video with a message that reads in part:

"Brianna Bundy tries to deliver personal letter to Ryan Zinke to discuss ranching and water rights.  Bundy family excluded from meeting....."

Media reports noted that Zinke was visiting the Bundy Ranch area, but that he had not met members of the Bundy Family.

Shortly after this incident, Secretary Zinke cut short his visit to the area to return to Washington, reportedly for an important meeting.
