Gregory Rodvelt, who investigators said admitted to fashioning numerous traps to prevent a court-appointed receiver from accessing a house he lived in, was charged after injuring an FBI agent. Last week, a jury found him guilty of assault.

in Arizona after a standoff with police while in possession of guns, bombmaking components and a manual on how to make improvised explosives in April 2017, according to the FBI. Several months later, Violet died. In 2018, Rodvelt attempted to claim the Oregon home by filing a fraudulent objection to a court order appointing an attorney to receive the house, documents state.

The FBI and Oregon State Police officers who inspected the house that September at the attorney’s request catalogued a long list of booby traps and barricades installed in and around the home. Before the Indiana Jones-inspired hot tub, a green minivan blocked access to the house’s front gate. The van was rigged with two steel jaw traps normally used on wild animals, court records state.

Rodvelt admitted to setting the traps to guard the property when he was first approached by an agent in an Arizona grocery store, documents state. He described the hot tub trap by likening it to the “stone rolling down in the Indiana Jones movie.”
