Middletown ‘sovereign citizen’ gets prison for guns inside Langhorne-Yardley Road home

A “sovereign citizen” who rejects government authority and drew the attention of Middletown police, neighbors and motorists passing his Langhorne house was sentenced from 28 to 56 years in state prison Wednesday for illegally possessing a cache of high-powered firearms.

At his trial in Doylestown, Bucks County, authorities testified about discovering the high-powered firearms that included scoped and AR-style sniper rifles, along with boxes of ammo, some of it NATO-grade used in war zones.

The jury took about an hour to find Curtis Gregory Smith Jr., 43, guilty on all eight counts, including illegal gun possession, and for falsely telling police his 2-year-old son was home alone after he was arrested last July on unrelated charges of zoning and code violations at his residence at 596 Langhorne-Yardley Road.
