The police chief in the small town of Temple, Ga., told WSB-TV that his department’s encounter with a purported “sovereign citizen” issued a traffic ticket in November has turned into a nightmare.
Chief Timothy Shaw did not identify the recipient of the ticket, but told the station that a judge has issued a protective order.
From WSB-TV Channel 2, quoting the chief:
“I received Mapquest driving directions that he had pulled up, from his personal residence to my personal residence. Also his personal residence to my mother and father’s personal residence in Florida.”
Other worrisome events that sprouted from the traffic encounter ensued, the chief told the station.
