The Latest: Marshals tackle Oregon standoff lawyer in court

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The Latest on the trial of seven defendants who were involved in an armed standoff at a wildlife refuge in Oregon (all times local):

5:10 p.m.

An attorney for the leader of the occupation at an Oregon wildlife refuge has been hit by a stun gun multiple times and tackled by federal authorities in a courtroom after his client was acquitted.

Ammon Bundy’s defense lawyer Marcus Mumford demanded his client be released immediately after Bundy and six others were found not guilty Thursday. Mumford kept yelling at the judge and wouldn’t calm down, so U.S. marshals used their stun guns on the attorney and then wrestled him to the floor.

Another Bundy lawyer, Morgan Philpot, says Mumford has been arrested.
