Oklahoma Sovereign Citizen Arrested For Felony VIN Tampering

On 7/15/18 while on routine patrol Oklahoma City Police Officer Hayden Barnes noticed a white Cadillac Escalade bearing the license plate "CHURCH NOT FOR HIRE."

It turned out that the driver's name was Church, and subsequent requests for his license and insurance revealed to Barnes that he had found a Sovereign Citizen. Not sure whether "Church" was the hilarious type or the 'guns blazing' type Barnes called for backup.

Fortunately for everyone involved, Bryan Arnett Jackson (his 'government name') was of the "peaceful denialist" SovCit variety. They sound something like this:

"I'm not a Sovereign Citizen. They are cray cray... Also, I don't have a driver's license or insurance and the VIN number is not MISSING from my Escalade. It's actually not NECESSARY. You see, I am not conducting commerce, so these thi--" ➡ JAIL.

Jackson insisted that he would clear his name in court, and later publicly stated that he intended to represent himself at his felony trial. Something significant must have happened, however, because Jackson seems to have accepted that the United States of America Corporation may have joinder over his person after all. Or at least he accepted that he was facing a lengthy jail sentence.

Oklahoma City court records show that Jackson filed a "Pro Se Motion to Dismiss" on 9/13/18, but that the court appointed him a public defender one week later. After a continuance, on 12/20/18 a miracle-worker attorney by the name of John Martino managed to convince Jackson to accept a favorable plea deal.

On that date the following docket entry was made:

JUDGE SAVAGE [Ed. Note: Epic name!]: DEFT APPEARS IN PERSON WITH COUNSEL JOHN F. MARTINO. THE STATE IS PRESENT. THE DEFT ENTERS A PLEA OF GUILTY AND IS TO PAY FIINE ONLY. CT 1 AMENED TO DRIVING W/O A LICENSE. NO PROBATION. VEHICLE TO BE RELEASED BACK TO DEFT. THE DEFT IS TO PAY $100 FINE, $50 VCA,AND COURT COSTS. ALL COSTS DUE INSTANTER. COURT REPORTER WAIVED. ANY BOND NOT IN FORFEITURE IS TO BE EXONERATED. COMMITMENT ISSUED.

Driving without a license vs. felony VIN tampering? Good choice. Even if the judge didn't have his oath of office on file or whatever.

I won't tell your friends that you pled guilty.

Background info: Court records show that Jackson had received Oklahoma City traffic tickets on three previous occasions. Despite each citation being relatively minor, Jackson managed to not show up in court every single time, leading to the issuance of a warrant for his arrest in 1997, 2010, and 2011. Dude.... come on.
