Man sentenced for 'sham' filings
Lutz flooded court with suits
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Leonard Lutz, convicted in September of filing sham legal documents, will serve six months at the Clermont County Jail.
Mr. Lutz, 66, also was sentenced Tuesday by Clermont County Common Pleas Judge Jerry McBride to community service. He also will be on five years' probation following his release.
He is doing his time, said Tony Brock, who prose cuted the case against Mr. Lutz.
The Union Township man is supporter of the common law movement, which does not recognize the authority of local laws. He was indicted in March on charges of using sham legal process and retaliation.
Targets of his legal documents were authorities involved in his traffic stops, including the police officer and prosecutors.
More than a dozen conditions were placed on his probation. He also must pay a fine of $1,700.
