A judge has sentenced former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin to 60 days in jail without the option of bond, following his arrest on an outstanding warrant related to a child support dispute with his estranged wife.
On Friday, Judge Angela Johnson delivered the ruling, emphasizing that the Republican former governor has repeatedly shown a complete lack of respect for the court. The decision comes after Bevin was taken into custody due to his failure to comply with existing child support obligations.
Bevin, who served as Kentucky’s governor from 2019 to 2023, now faces immediate incarceration as a result of the contempt of court charges. The case highlights ongoing legal battles surrounding family support payments that have followed him since leaving office.
