'Sovereign man' pleads guilty to drunken driving -- themorningcall.com

'Sovereign man' pleads guilty to drunken driving -- themorningcall.com: "Scott A. Witmer, 44, of Allen Township pleaded guilty this morning to drunken driving, a decision that came a day after his trial began and two days after he claimed the court lacked jurisdiction because he is a 'sovereign man' who lives inside himself, and not in Pennsylvania.

'I did not mean to waste the court's time or any of that stuff,' Witmer told Northampton County Judge Leonard Zito. 'But I felt I had the right to see what the Constitution has to offer.'
"
----------
In this case, the Constitution and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offer him up to six months in the jug, to be determined on May 15.

The old sov went out with a whimper, if you ask me.
