He was taken into custody while working as an extra on a Christian film production

LOUISVILLE - Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin was arrested Thursday by Bourbon County Sheriff's deputies while working as an extra on the set of a Christian film production in Paris, Kentucky.  

According to court documents, Bevin had been evading an active bench warrant issued out of Jefferson Family Court.  

He is serving a 60-day sentence for civil contempt at the Louisville Metro Detention Center.  

His arrest stems from his refusal to submit required financial documents and unredacted records in a child support case.
