Short sentences ‘sovereign citizens’ | The Andalusia Star-News

Two men with sovereign citizen movement ties were sentenced to 10 years on each of the eight counts charged against them for offering a false instrument for recording against a public servant during a sentencing hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Travis Lee Lambert of Andalusia and William Peter Witwicki of Enterprise were sentenced to serve concurrent sentences for filing a fraudulent suit against Coffee County Sheriff Dave Sutton, Circuit Judge Thomas Head, Circuit Clerk Mickey Counts and Circuit Judge Shannon Clark.

A Covington County jury found Lambert and Witwicki guilty in March after a two-day trial proved that both contributed in the suit, which was intended to sue the public officials for $89.2 million in silver coins. The defendants represented themselves in the trial.
