A man who is accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of copper wire claims to be a sovereign citizen and says the law doesn't apply to him.
Deputies said Marc Stanley, 43, tried to break into the building where the new East Coast Believers Church will sit at the corner of Aloma Avenue and Dean Road. But when he didn't get into the building, investigators said he targeted the light poles in the parking lot instead.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said the theft could have been much worse if Stanley had made his way into the 50,000-square-foot building late Friday night.
