Overview
- Jefferson Family Court issued an arrest warrant Tuesday after Matt Bevin joined the hearing by Zoom instead of appearing in person as ordered.
- Judge Angela Johnson found him in contempt for failing to provide complete financial records and set a 60-day jail term that he can avoid by paying $500 and submitting the documents.
- The court is seeking tax returns, bank statements, and proof of income from several business interests, and filings say he omitted support for eight holdings, including a 31% stake in Neuronetrix Solutions.
- These disclosures are needed to set retroactive child support sought by his adopted son, Jonah, who previously obtained protective orders and alleges past abuse.
- The warrant remained active Wednesday, and a follow-up family-court session is set for Friday as Bevin challenges the judge’s role and faces possible sanctions of up to 180 days if he does not comply.
