We learned some interesting facts today:

The day before the occupation happened, Ammon bought $471.55 worth of hunting supplies - ammunition, rifle scopes and clothing - from a store in Emmett, Idaho.

The day before he was arrested, he withdrew $6000 from an in-store bank in Nampa, Idaho. (Both are roughly 200 miles from the Malheur reservation.) When the cops picked him up, they discovered $8000 on his person in a white envelope and an additional $31 in his wallet.

The prosecution now believes they can rest next week.
