The occupiers who took over a national wildlife refuge warned an Oregon sheriff that his county would be “invaded” by armed citizens if he didn’t protect his constituents from the federal government, the law officer testified Wednesday.

Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward said that before the 41-day standoff, group leader Ammon Bundy and another man urged him to protect two local ranchers who faced additional prison time for setting fires on federal lands. That protest grew into demands for the U.S. government to turn public range over to local control.

Bundy and six others charged with threatening and intimidating federal employees are on trial in the occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge earlier this year. Five also are charged with possession of a firearm in a federal facility.

Ward said he got an email in the weeks before the occupation from defendant Neil Wampler, saying the sheriff needed to protect residents from an abusive government or “see your county invaded by the most determined and organized — and armed — citizens alive in this country.”
