Bevin Faces Arrest Over Court Absence in Kentucky Divorce Case

Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin was issued an arrest warrant after again failing to appear in person for a Jefferson County Family Court hearing in his divorce and child-support case; Bevin claimed a 'very large boulder' blocked him from attending, but Judge Angela Johnson sentenced him to 14 days in jail unless he pays a $250 fine and warned of further penalties if he does not provide the court with requested financial documents ahead of next week’s proceedings. The case also involves Bevin’s 19-year-old adopted son Jonah, who seeks financial support amid allegations, and follows prior contempt findings and moves to appoint a special judge that were ultimately denied.
