Purported “sovereign citizens” Travis Lee Lambert and Janet Tharpe Hancock are listed as prisoners at the St. Lucie County Jail in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Lambert, 62, and Hancock, 61, were booked at the jail July 2, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. They are being held on fugitive warrants from Alabama.
Lambert was charged last year with the unauthorized practice of law amid allegations he filed court pleadings for Hancock, his girlfriend and a convicted burglar out on bond during an appeal.
“Sovereign citizens” may have an irrational belief that laws do not apply to them.
Hancock is at least the second female “sovereign citizen” arrested in Florida in recent weeks. “Linda Louise” was arrested in May by police in Punta Gorda.
