‘Sovereign citizen’ arrested after Ross police see SUV made to look like police vehicle

A man driving an SUV equipped to look like an unmarked police vehicle was arrested Saturday in Ross after he gave police fake documents that included a “United Nations driving permit,” Ross police said in a criminal complaint.

Ross police charged Zachary Jerry, no age available, of Pittsburgh with a misdemeanor count of impersonating a public servant and 16 other misdemeanor and summary charges.

In the criminal complaint, a Ross officer said he saw a black Ford Explorer with police-style antennas on the roof and no inspection stickers in the parking lot of a Giant Eagle on Brighton Road around 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

The SUV had built-in lights on the front and rear, a light bar inside the back window and a laptop mounted inside, the complaint states. It had a “police interceptor” badge on the back with a “Lenapehoking State” registration of “CINE,” which police said is not a legitimate registration.
