Your PA dealers thought this was a truly unique story that happened in the Allentown area earlier this week. Scott Witmer, a 44-year-old resident of Allen Township was pulled over for drunken driver. He pleaded guilty yesterday for driving under the influence of alcohol, but that plea came days after he claimed the court had no jurisdiction over him because he is a “sovereign man.” As such, he “lives inside himself” rather than in the state of Pennsylvania.
Witmer could face up to six months in jail for his offense when he finally receives his sentence on May 15. He said he didn’t think his “sovereign man” defense would work, but he felt he “had the right to see what the Constitution has to offer.” The incident occurred on August 24 when he drove away from home following a domestic dispute. The officer that pulled him over said he was so intoxicated that he could barely stand up.
Your PA dealers and your Pottstown area Honda dealer wants to encourage you to abstain from driving if you’ve had too much to drink. Even though this story is a bit humorous because of Witmer’s defense, it’s a good thing nobody was hurt due to his careless actions.
