BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF UPDATE:  BLM AGENT WHO LED FEDERAL SIDE OF STANDOFF LOSES HIS JOB

The Associated Press is reporting that Dan Love, who was the lead federal agent at the 2014 Bunkerville Standoff,  is no longer employed by the Bureau of Land Management.

A  report on Love was released last month regarding his misconduct that included giving rare artifacts to friends and mishandling evidence and getting tickets from organizers of the annual "Burning Man" festival.

BLM agents were used to drive members of Love's family around the festival site.

Love ordered emails destroyed at the federal agency as well.

Assistant US Attorney Steven Myhre, lead Bunkerville prosecutor,  and US District Judge Gloria Navarro have prevented defense lawyers from bringing up Dan Love in the Bunkerville trials.
