New Jersey home commandeered by 'sovereign citizens' of Al Moroccan Empire'

A group of four men who said they were "sovereign citizens of the Al Moroccan Empire" took up ownership of a New Jersey home and claimed the property was rightfully theirs given their status, local police recently said.

Huber A. John, 39, was arrested on June 17 and charged with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespass and terroristic threats after he allegedly took over a vacant Newark, New Jersey, home with three other men, the Newark Department of Public Safety said Tuesday.

Police said the legitimate homeowner reported a burglary at the Ivy Street address around 12 p.m. on June 17, when she told authorities that "four males that she did not know were claiming to have legal residency of her vacant property and had changed the locks."

Huber John…you can't make this stuff up!
