FBI agent shot by booby-trapped wheelchair in fortified home

The Florida of the west coast 
quote:
A former southern Oregon property owner has been charged with assault on a federal officer after, authorities say, an FBI agent sent to the property was shot from a booby-trapped wheelchair.
quote:
Law enforcement officers responded to the home in the small town of Williams on Sept. 7 at the request of a real estate lawyer tasked with selling the property
quote:
A criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Medford said officers found traps throughout the property from spike strips to a circular hot tub turned on its side and rigged to roll over anyone who triggered a tripwire.
quote:
“(It was) much like a scene from the movie ‘Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark’ in which actor Harrison Ford is forced to outrun a giant stone boulder that he inadvertently triggered by a booby trap switch,”
quote:
After making it past the hot tub, according to the complaint, a bomb squad and FBI agent approached the property’s manufactured home and blasted open the fortified front door.
quote:
Inside the home a wheelchair outfitted with a fishing line, shotgun ammunition and other items got pushed and triggered the explosion that wounded the agent, according to court documents. An X-ray found a .410-guage shotgun pellet in the agent’s leg
quote:
Authorities said the makeshift weapons were created by 66-year-old Gregory Rodvelt, who was forced to forfeit his property as part of an elder abuse case involving his mother.
quote:LINK
Rodvelt currently is in Arizona’s Maricopa County Jail, where he is in the midst of an assault trial in a separate case related to an alleged armed standoff. He has refused a court-appointed defense lawyer

I want video. This is awesome.
Apparently the FBI would not have escaped with the golden idol.

says pellet. i had a 410 when i was 12. pellets were about the size of a grape seed. I think he'll live.

The pellets in a .410 shotgun shell are half the size, or smaller, than that of the old red rider BB guns.

im a bit torn on this one, if the yard was booby trapped they the person who trips them did it to themselves.
im against charges on this one since the guy was evicted and wasnt even there so they have no basis for saying he could have prevented anyone from being hurt by warning them in advance.
they chose to go there without his consent and break down the door so anything that happens to them while doing this is a direct result of their own actions.
yes he is a POS for setting booby traps but no, he isnt responsible for their injuries because they alone chose to invade his property.
i see this as no different then if he had a dog at the house that bit them. would they charge him for his dog biting the cop?? there is no difference in having a dog or setting traps for uninvited guests
