But, what she and the other "Moorish Americans" or other "Sovereign Citizens" believe is that the laws of the United States or the separate cities, counties and states within the United States do not apply to them. There is a much simpler term for someone who believes that the laws of the country they live in do not apply to them: Outlaw.
A squatter, also facing aggravated assault charges, said Friday she wants to represent herself as a Moorish National citizen under international law, leaving a judge to wonder aloud if she is operating “in a different universe.”
ReplyDeleteTabitha Gentry, who also goes by Abka Re Bey, told Criminal Court Judge James Lammey Jr. that she does not want help from any attorney, but the judge said she must abide by the laws and rules of Tennessee in a trial.
He said he was perplexed by her filings espousing citizenship of the Moorish American National Republic and status as a descendant of indigenous people who do not recognize state or federal laws.
“You seem to want to pick and choose what laws you go by,” Lammey told her in a hearing. “I don’t have any law book that explains what the heck you’re talking about. You may as well be living in a different universe. This is just gibberish. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I’m just calling it what it is.”
Still, the hearing was a calm one, unlike the contentious setting last week which ended with Lammey revoking Gentry’s bond for repeated outbursts and ordering her to undergo a mental evaluation.
On Friday he urged her to cooperate with the evaluation and said he would reinstate her bond if the results were favorable to her competency.
“I’m very competent and I can make decisions for myself,” Gentry insisted. “I’m not mentally ill.”
She is charged with aggravated assault on two police officers, who said she struck them with her car as she pulled away from a traffic stop last October in the 1300 block of Bellevue. They say that instead of a driver’s license, she showed them only a sovereign citizens identification card.
Gentry said she drove off because she feared for her life.
In another case pending grand jury action, she is charged with moving in to a vacant $3 million mansion at 600 Shady Grove in East Memphis in March after declaring she was entitled to the property as a Moorish American.
The property was for sale after being foreclosed on by a bank.
Gentry is charged with aggravated burglary, theft over $60,000 and grand larceny.
