Judge Says She Is ‘Losing Patience’ in Former Gov. Matt Bevin's Child Support Case
Judge Angela Johnson said she will lift the warrant if Bevin turns over required financial records, and she ordered him to serve 60 days in jail and pay a $500 fine.
- Jefferson County Family Court Judge Angela Johnson maintains an active arrest warrant for former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin after he failed to produce mandatory financial records by a June 5 deadline in his child support case.
- The legal battle centers on retroactive child support claims from Bevin's adopted son, Jonah Bevin, who alleges he was emotionally and physically abused at a youth facility in Jamaica at age 17.
- Attorney Jesse Mudd claims Bevin produced more than 1,000 pages of financial documents, though Judge Johnson maintains he has not acted in good faith or fulfilled court requirements.
- Judge Johnson stated, "If he would do what's right, like I require every other person that comes in here, then I will happily rescind that bench warrant," warning Bevin faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
- Bevin's next hearing is scheduled for July 28, though the former governor continues to publicly dispute claims, alleging his son is attempting to "shake his parents down for money.
