Oregon Man Convicted After Rigging Up Home With ‘Indiana Jones’ Booby Trap
Jury Convicts Oregon Man Who Rigged Home With ‘Indiana Jones’ Booby Trap Injuring FBI Agent
A man from Oregon has been convicted after rigging up his property with a series of Indiana Jones style booby traps.
Gregory Lee Rodvelt, 71, had previously lost possession of his property in a lawsuit. Bomb specialists from the FBI were later dispatched to inspect the property after Rodvelt was arrested in 2017 on suspicion of possessing explosives.
FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Gray wrote an affidavit, or written statement made under oath, which detailed the dangerous devices that Rodvelt had installed in his former home.

The affidavit read: “Rodvelt stated that he set up fishing line and a tripwire across the property gate that went to a round hot tub that was on its side set to roll down the hill and hit whoever comes through the gate.
“Rodvelt described it by referencing the ‘stone rolling down in the Indiana Jones Movie’.”
Rodvelt was convicted due to the effectiveness of another trap which had been set up in the property. Officers entered the house using explosives to breach the door, and upon entering they came upon a wheelchair.
When the wheelchair was ‘bumped’, it “triggered a homemade shotgun device that discharged a .410 shotgun shell that struck the FBI bomb technician below the knee”, according to the US Attorney General’s Office.
