Man found guilty of rigging Williams property with booby traps. A man accused of injuring an FBI bomb technician with a shotgun-rigged wheelchair booby trap faces decades in prison after a jury found him guilty of federal charges Friday. Gregory Lee Rodvelt, 71, of Williams, was found guilty in U.S. District Court in Medford on charges of assaulting a federal officer and using a firearm in a crime of violence, for the numerous booby traps he was accused of setting in the summer of 2018, in response to a property dispute at 1000 Dreamhill Drive in Williams. The jury deliberated for less than two hours Friday, following a five-day trial involving more than 150 evidence exhibits, including physical exhibits named as “shotgun trap device,” “metal trap with chain,” and photos of homemade spike strips, rat traps and a trap made from a van hood latch. The case was not the defendant’s first offense. Rodvelt has been serving prison time in Arizona on convictions of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, misconduct involving explosives and interfering with judicial proceedings in Maricopa County.
