This was followed by a post on Facebook page, The Cowboy and the Lady:

While they waited on the rumor mill, I picked up their slack and found some real facts.

Here are the known facts …

Emry’s booking report at Oregon’s Deschute’s County Jail says  he was arrested on an out of county warrant . The arresting authority was the FBI. He is currently at Deschutes County jail awaiting transport to an as yet identified county.

It is unknown to what extent, if any, of Emry’s audio/video equipment was confiscated. It is also unknown, at this time, whether the arrest is in relation to the January’s armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, or Emry’s ties to the events in Adam’s county relating to the #Justice4Jack campaign, or something else altogether.

Emery spent copious amounts of time in Burns as well as at the refuge during the Oregon Standoff. Sometimes passing out pocket Constitutions to FBI agents.

UPDATE: According to the Oregonian’s, Les Zaitz, Emry’s warrant was on a weapons charge.

BREAKING: Michel Emry, “embedded” reporter at refuge with militia, arrested by FBI in John Day Friday on weapons charges. Details to come.
