LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An arrest warrant for former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin has been recalled for the second time after he failed to appear in person for a family court proceeding in Jefferson County.
According to WUKY 91.3 FM, Bevin has twice declined to show up for in-person court dates, choosing instead to participate via Zoom. The repeated absences have drawn the ire of the family court judge overseeing the case.
This marks the second instance in which an arrest warrant has been issued and subsequently recalled in connection with Bevin’s family court matter. The pattern of missed in-person appearances suggests an ongoing dispute between the former governor and the presiding judge over courtroom conduct and attendance requirements.
Bevin, who served as Kentucky’s governor from 2015 to 2019, has faced various legal matters since leaving office. The nature of the specific family court case was not detailed in the initial report, though the judge’s apparent frustration with his repeated Zoom appearances indicates the case may require the parties to be physically present in the courtroom.
It remains unclear whether additional court dates have been scheduled or what further action the judge may take regarding Bevin’s continued non-compliance with in-person appearance orders.
