A man was arrested on a charge of resisting and obstructing an officer after police say he refused to cooperate with officers during a traffic stop in Dundee, Michigan.
The circumstances began about 3:15 p.m. Saturday near the Golf Ridge subdivision in the village. Dundee Police Officer Josh Stump made a traffic stop for a vehicle that did not have a registration plate, and asked the 54-year-old driver for his driver's license and registration.
But according to the Dundee police report, the man refused to follow directions, insisting that he was "traveling," not "driving." He also claimed to be a "Michigan national" and that he did not have to comply with the police officer's directions.
In response to the circumstances, the officer requested a supervisor to respond to the scene and Dundee Police Sgt. Bryan Sparks arrived to assist.
The sergeant then made several requests for the driver to get out of the vehicle, but police said the driver continued being uncooperative, insisting that the village police chief or the county sheriff respond to the scene.
The driver then locked his vehicle door and began to roll up the window. The sergeant was able to grab the driver's arm and shoulder, preventing the window from being closed, and was able to unlock the vehicle's doors. In the meantime, the officer entered the vehicle from the passenger side and turned off the ignition. The two then got the driver out of the vehicle.
"At this point, the driver then complied and was taken into custody without further incident. Officers then discovered the subject was wanted on several warrants from other jurisdictions in Michigan," the report said.
The man was arrested and taken to Monroe County Jail on expected charges of resisting and obstructing police, traffic violations, and active warrants from agencies outside of Monroe County.

Oh boy. He is one of them.
Sovereign Citizen. Never goes well for them
"I seen all them Democrats on TV and I don't see nothin' wrong with defendin' democracy myself. Fascists."
I’ve heard of Sovereign Citizens, but never Michigan Nationals.
” “At this point, the driver then complied”
At least he wasn’t fatally stupid since he eventually got smart enough to comply.
SovCiv. Nuttiness at its legal finest.
“I’m traveling, not driving”
“Yes you are. In the back of my patrol car”.
“The sergeant was able to grab the driver’s arm and shoulder”
Sorry, Police can’t do that.
Get a lawyer, easy win payday.
“ I didn’t do nothing. “ “I want to talk to your supervisor. “ “ You pulled me over because I’m black. “
If there were a bystander cell phone video going viral it would begin at the moment with the officers finally turning the tide of the vigorous physical resistance by the perp and holding him. With captions “innocent driver grabbed and manhandled by cops—where is our democracy now?”
Was it a self-driving car???
I was thinking that, but he didn’t help himself with his other nutiness.
Sure they can. This one just did. Doesn't make it right, though ...
Get a lawyer, easy win payday.
With a stack of outstanding warrants? Probably not.
But even without that the payday is at the taxpayers' expense ... criminals in government livery don't face persona consequences for their crimes.
RE: “I’m traveling, not driving”
“Maestro, a little traveling music, please.” 🎵🎵
-—Jackie Gleason to Sammy Spear and his Orchestra as he exited the stage. 1950s.
“...he was “traveling,” not “driving.”
Beg to differ. Lawyer will get the judge to preclude any mention of the outstanding warrants. And if any conviction will say it shows a lack of understanding of the perp’s long history of mental problems that society should have addressed up to now. Plus a record showing he was picked on by the authorities and singled out. /S
1) Perp: I was only reaching in to get my Skittles.
2) When the cops brutally held me I was trying gasp out “I can’t breathe.”
3) I’m having trouble accessing my Go Fund Me account.
Officers then discovered the subject was wanted on several warrants from other jurisdictions in Michigan.
He sounds like he has a Homer Simpson brain yeah I’ll stall them that’ll work.
That’s a possibility, of course ... but if he starts up with the “Sovreign Citizen” stuff in front of the judge ... and those guys will just never shut the hell up about it ... it will not go well for him. Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I knew a few guys who were into that stuff ... no driver license, no license plates, didn’t file income taxes, yellow-fringe flag, uniform commercial code, blahblahblah.
Guess where they all ended up, one after another.
Yes, they can.
A maryland man????
