Uh,,, excuse me?! What century are we in, "Carr cited a decree handed down by Henry III, who was king of England between 1216 and 1272, that property rights required proper and continual use to prevent titles from being worthless scraps of paper."
A grand jury indicted an Ohio “sovereign citizen” who tried to steal 11 homes by moving in and filing a “quiet title” to claim ownership.
Prosecutors said Robert Carr found empty houses in the Cincinnati area, changed the locks and filed court documents in attempt to keep the homeowner or bank from making any subsequent claims on the property.
The legal maneuver has been used by sovereign citizens, who believe that governments operate illegally and generally choose to disobey laws they don’t like, to gain control of properties all over the country.
Carr was charged with breaking and entering last month, but he returned the arrest warrant as “rejected” and said their “office (was) not accepted,” and he charged Forest Park police with a lengthy, handwritten list of civil rights violations, including kidnapping.
But a Hamilton County grand jury indicted him Thursday on six felony charges — three counts of breaking and entering and three counts of theft — in connection with four of the cases.
His girlfriend, 25-year-old Bethany Firth, was also indicted on one count of breaking and entering.
