He was a central figure in the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff with federal law enforcement at his cabin near Naples, Idaho, during which his wife, son and family dog were killed. Weaver was charged with murder, conspiracy, and assault as well as other crimes. He was acquitted of most of the charges, but was convicted of failing to appear in court on a previous weapons charge and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
