\nA Louisville judge ordered on Friday that Matt Bevin will remain in jail for the next 60 days.<\/p>\n
The former Kentucky governor was arrested on an outstanding warrant while on a movie set in Bourbon County on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Bevin was charged with contempt of court after failing to provide financial documents to his adopted son Jonah in their ongoing child support case. <\/p>\n
Jefferson County Judge Angela Johnson’s warrant, filed in June, requires Bevin to spend 60 days in jail and pay a $500 fine. <\/p>\n
During Bevin’s arraignment Friday afternoon, Bevin’s attorneys asked for Johnson to reduce his sentence or allow him to serve it out from home.<\/p>\n
Attorneys for Jonah urged the judge to keep him in jail, saying he is no different than any other citizen and citing previous court orders Bevin has violated.<\/p>\n
Johnson said she considers Bevin’s behavior to show an “intentional disregard” of her court orders.<\/p>\n
“You have done nothing to show the court that you are willing to act in good faith and I cannot reward that with a reduced sentence or alternative sentence,” the judge continued, saying he hasn’t earned it.<\/p>\n
She said Bevin would serve out the 60-day sentence, but added that she may consider revisiting the sentence after 30 days.<\/p>\n
“But you will serve 60 days as of now,” the judge said, denying Bevin bond.
