Jury convicts Oregon man who injured FBI bomb technician with shotgun booby trap

A jury has convicted an Oregon man who injured an FBI bomb technician with a shotgun attached to a wheelchair, one of the many booby traps the man had set up in his former home.

A federal jury on June 2 found Gregory Lee Rodvelt, 71, guilty of assaulting a federal officer and using and discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon said in a news release Tuesday.

Rodvelt is set to be sentenced at an undetermined date. He faces up to life in federal prison for the latter charge, prosecutors said.

The incident took place on Sept 7, 2018, when the FBI and bomb technicians from the Oregon State Police visited a property in the town of Williams that Rodvelt had owned and then lost in a lawsuit, according to court documents.
