| Description | All four holdouts at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge have surrendered, ending the 41-day occupation that drew national attention.
Three of the four remaining occupiers, Sean Anderson, Sandra Anderson and Jeff Banta, surrendered around 9 a.m. Thursday after a through-the-night showdown with the FBI. However, David Fry was holding out. He surrendered around 11 a.m. and is in custody of the FBI.
The final four occupiers are scheduled to appear in federal court on Friday.
For two hours after the first three surrendered, Fry was on a phone call with the FBI, a blogger and supporters of the occupation. He described himself as suicidal and said that his grievances have not been heard and acted upon. |
