Rocky Ford Police VS Alleged "Sovereign Citizen" Fake Plate Offender

Unfortunately for this driver, "sovereign citizen" status is a 'no go' here in Rocky Ford, Colorado. 

About 1:12pm, 26th May, 2024, the Rocky Ford Police Department made contact with the driver of a silver Mazda sedan displaying a fictitious plate. 

The driver, 32 year old Jonathan Thompson, of Harlem, Georgia, initially tried the sovereign citizen routine, not needing to have, or produce a driver's license, registration, or proof of insurance, as required by Colorado statutes. 

A short time later, Jonathan was assisted from his vehicle and detained, for refusing to identify himself and produce the necessary documents. After coming to the realization that complying with Colorado law was not an option for him, Jonathan decided to identify himself to investigating officers. It was also established that his vehicle was not registered, or insured.

Jonathan was issued a summons for traffic related charges and his fictitious license plate removed from his vehicle. 

Rocky Ford Police Department aren't playing these kinda games. Obey the law if you'd like to live in, drive through, or visit our wonderful city. Please and thank you.
