The arrest was due to a live bench warrant issued after a judge found Bevin in contempt for failing to provide his financial records in a divorce and child support case. Bevin, who served as governor from 2015 to 2019, was working as an extra on a Christmas film set near Lexington when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/protesters-close-bay-bridge-with-calls-for-ceasefire-in-gaza-during-bidens-visit\/\" title=\"Protesters close Bay Bridge with calls for ceasefire in Gaza during Biden&#039;s visit\">law enforcement detained<\/a> him. The court issue stems from Bevin\u2019s refusal to disclose his financial documents,unlike his ex-wife who complied. The judge had ordered Bevin to pay a fine and disclose financial information, but he did not, leading to the warrant. Bevin has not sought public office as losing his re-election bid in 2019.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Kentucky Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/matt-bevin\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"2845\">Matt Bevin<\/a> was arrested on contempt-of-court charges in central <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kentucky\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"30\">Kentucky<\/a> and\u00a0booked\u00a0into\u00a0Louisville\u2019s\u00a0Jefferson County jail\u00a0on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bevin had a live bench warrant against him after a Jefferson County judge found him in contempt of court for failing to turn over his financial records in his divorce and child support proceedings.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4713616\/former-kentucky-governor-matt-bevin-arrested-extra-christian-film-set\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin arrested while performing as extra on Christian film set<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4713014\/jeanine-pirro-joins-uk-in-mass-crackdown-crypto-chinese-linked-scam-centers\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Pirro joins UK in mass crackdown on Chinese-linked scam centers<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4712753\/texas-ice-officer-charged-minnesota-extradition\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Federal prosecutors charge Texas ICE officer whom Minnesota failed to extradite<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourbon County law enforcement arrested Bevin on Thursday while he was in Paris, Kentucky, working as an extra in a Christmas movie being filmed on a horse farm about 20 miles outside Lexington, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lpm.org\/news\/2026-09-03\/former-kentucky-gov-matt-bevin-arrested-by-bourbon-county-sheriffs-office\">according<\/a> to <em>Louisville Public Media<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republican politician served as governor of Kentucky from 2015 to 2019, before losing his reelection bid to current Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andy-beshear\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"8307\">Andy Beshear<\/a> (D-KY).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bevin\u2019s arrest stems from a court battle over his 2023 divorce from his ex-wife, Glenna Bevin, and a proceeding over whether the two owe their estranged, adopted son, Jonah Bevin, 19, child support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late July, Matt Bevin skipped an in-person hearing in the child support case while his warrant stood, unsuccessfully attempting to join the hearing over Zoom.
