00:00So imagine, if you will, a dark-sided Indiana Jones.
00:14Okay.
00:15So he steals the artifacts for his own gain?
00:19An Oregon man who rigged his lost home with an Indiana Jones-inspired booby trap
00:26of a round hot tub set on its side, set to roll down a hill and kill someone.
00:37Wait, what?
00:38Indiana Jones in the spa, dude.
00:39He made a boulder?
00:41Imagine it's a white trash version of that.
00:44And it's an old hot tub.
00:46Yeah.
00:47RUN!
00:49RUN!
00:52Does that roll?
00:53You're on your own, Indy!
00:55It's a round hot tub.
00:56Yeah, I guess.
00:57Yeah.
00:59I guess it'd be on its side?
01:02Yes, it was on its side.
01:02Yeah.
01:04Huh.
01:04I mean, it would kill you, right?
01:07Yeah.
01:07If it landed on you, absolutely it would.
01:10He was found guilty of charges stemming from the 2018 incident in which a federal agent
01:14was actually injured.
01:17This is, uh, white trash Indy here.
01:20Oh, wow.
01:21Not as attractive as Harrison Ford.
01:24No, not at all.
01:25Not at all.
01:27No.
01:27Um, this guy is 71-year-old Gregory Lee Rodvelt.
01:32Wow.
01:33Great head of hair.
01:34At 71?
01:35Yeah.
01:36He definitely does.
01:37Yeah.
01:37Uh, a jury just found him guilty of assaulting a federal officer and using and discharging
01:42a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
01:45So, what happened was he lost his home in a lawsuit and he learned that a receiver had been appointed to sell that property.
01:54So, he thought-
01:55Kill him.
01:56I'm going to booby trap it.
01:58Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59And he went Indiana Jones style.
02:02He did.
02:03Bomb specialists with the FBI and Oregon State Police were asked to inspect the property after
02:07this guy was arrested.
02:09When bomb specialists got to his former property, they came upon a minivan blocking the front gates.
02:16And when they looked closer, they realized there was two booby traps in the minivan.
02:21Another white trash indie movie.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Minivan traps.
02:25Yeah.
02:27Yes.
02:28My God, it's diabolical.
02:31Bombs in the minivans!
02:32Pop tubs on the run!
02:34Of course I put bombs in the minivans.
02:37They disarmed the traps and then they get into the home.
02:42Just as they were there, lawn darts came flying across them.
02:48They were hit by bush light cans.
02:50No, no, no.
02:51Like one of the officers has got a bush light can and there's another bush light can sitting
02:55there and he's got to be like.
02:58He's going to move them at the same time.
03:01Puzzles and things for them to figure out.
03:03Yeah.
03:05They noticed a hot tub on its side.
03:12What is that?
03:13Just at that moment, an agent tripped on some fishing line.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:20And the hot tub rolled down the hill toward him.
03:25How much time did he have, do you think?
03:28They described it as the stone rolling down in the Indiana Jones movie.
03:32So the agent had to book it?
03:36Did he get him?
03:37He did, but it got him on the legs a bit.
03:39It worked!
03:40Oh my god!
03:42This is the most dangerous man with Aunt Shirley hair that you've ever seen.
03:49It's true.
03:50I'll get him.
03:51He's got hair just like my great Aunt Shirley.
03:52It's the same haircut.
03:57You can cover up the face.
03:59Oh my goodness.
04:00So after this, they get inside.
04:03They came upon an old wheelchair.
04:07That's a trap.
04:08Yeah, don't touch it.
04:09They bumped it.
04:10It triggered a homemade shotgun device.
04:13Kaboom!
04:14Oh my god.
04:14That discharged a shotgun shell that struck another FBI technician below the knee.
04:21Both agents were rushed to the hospital, both treated and released.
04:26This guy now faces up to 20 years behind bars when he's sentenced.
04:29They say it's an unrealistic maximum sentence for him.
04:36He deserves more.
04:37Absolutely.
04:38Could you imagine that scene?
04:39Like that scene?
04:40Just there's so much going on.
04:42Like hot tub coming.
04:43Minivan bomb.
04:45Old hot tub rolling at you.
04:47Wheelchair gun.
04:48Gun shooting at you.
04:49How do you, listen, how do you come up with this many wild ideas?
04:54Like you just sit around and think of booby traps.
04:57Trashy Anna Jones.
04:59And the hot tub of fear.
05:03It's one of those little mouth organs that's playing the thing.
05:09Trashy Anna Jones.
05:11And the van of mystery.
05:15Be better than the crystal skull.
05:17They would be.
05:19Honestly, I feel like a recreation of this whole scene would be incredible.
05:25In my brain it is wild.
05:27Although in my brain also it's like this, the Dave and Chuck, the freak crew.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Oh, we're in there.
05:32Yeah.
05:33What?
05:33Look out, Chuck!
05:34Rolling hot tub!
05:35Ah!
05:36I'm not fast enough!
05:38He got it!
05:41He's covered in old hot tub water!
05:43Oh, God!
05:44I'm going to die!
05:45So gross.
05:46That's the most disgusting part.
05:50Put an Indiana Jones hat on him, though.
05:52It would just sit on top of his hair.
05:54Yeah, on top of his Aunt Shirley hair.
05:56Yep.
05:58Amazing.
05:58They need a new design.
06:00They, they, maybe just the brim.
06:02And then his hair comes through the rest of it.
06:05Yeah, almost like a visor, but it's Indiana Jones style.
06:07That's the Trashy Anna Jones version.
06:09Yes.
06:10For sure.
06:12I love it.
06:13I mean, dead dead, but I love it.
06:16How scared were they?
06:18Oh, you'd be incredibly scared.
06:19Oh.
06:20Redneck Indy is after you?
06:22You don't know where to look, where to turn?
06:24No.
06:25No.
06:25That's really, that's really wild.
06:27Is that couch on the porch ready to blow?
06:31Well, yes.
06:31I would just assume everything in his place.
06:34Like, there was at least, we talked about six different devices, so.
06:37You'd think they went in there and were like, okay, there can't be anymore.
06:40Like, the hot tub.
06:40Like, there can't be.
06:41Come on.
06:41That wheelchair can't be.
06:43Right.
06:43Minivan.
06:44And then a guy gets shot, and then I trip over a fishing line, and a hot tub runs me
06:48over someone.
06:49Yeah.
06:50One of the officers has a booklet with all kinds of notes and stuff in it, and he's
06:53like, bush light.
06:55I was like, there it is.
06:57It's right there in my notes.
06:58There's like a hopscotch, you know, thing drawn on one of the things, and you gotta step
07:04on the right one.
07:06Yeah.
07:07All sorts of stuff.
