Resisting an officer without violence. A 35-year-old California woman refused to provide her driver's license to police after she was pulled over for having an expired tag, stating she was a "sovereign citizen" and exempt from laws.
According to her arrest report, the woman continued to refuse to follow the officer's orders, and the officer called for additional units to help. She eventually handed over her driver's license after the officer ordered her out of the vehicle and opened her door.
She was arrested for resisting, and continued to resist as she was placed inside the patrol car. After being transported to the police department, she asked for an ambulance, stating she would not survive transport to the jail due to "heat and panic." After she was cleared at the hospital, she was taken to jail.
Police also discovered she didn't have valid car insurance; she was cited for this too.
