Judge Finds Former Kentucky Governor Bevin in Contempt of Court Over Financial Records A Jefferson County family court judge ruled that former Kentucky Governor Matthew Bevin is in contempt of court for withholding complete financial records, threatening him with up to 180 days in jail. Judge Angela J. Johnson issued the contempt order, requiring Bevin to appear in person for a sentencing hearing scheduled for 12 p.m. on Tuesday. Bevin has until 10 a.m. on Tuesday to submit unredacted financial documents to avoid sanctions, which could include fines, attorney fees, or incarceration. The contempt ruling follows a March 10 court order mandating Matthew and Glenna Bevin to provide full financial disclosures to Jonah Bevin, their adopted son, for child support calculations. According to court records, Glenna complied by submitting her disclosures with only one redaction for her current residential address. Matthew, however, missed the 48-hour deadline and submitted incomplete, redacted documents a day late. The order highlighted that Matthew failed to provide supporting documentation for income from eight business interests, including his 31% ownership stake in Neuronetrix Solutions, LLC, a medical technology company. Bevin contested the 48-hour deadline, arguing it was unreasonable and made compliance impossible. Judge Johnson dismissed this claim as disingenuous, noting that Matthew had been aware of the need to disclose financial information for over nine months. The judge criticized Bevin for actively concealing his finances from the court and Jonah, as well as for intentionally misrepresenting statements made during a March 20 hearing. She also noted that Bevin frequently interrupted court proceedings. Court records indicate an arrest order was issued on Tuesday.#judge_angela_johnson #jonah_bevin #matthew_bevin #glenna_bevin #neuronetrix_solutions_llc
