In legal proceedings, courts maintain authority through established jurisdiction and procedural rules, and defendants who repeatedly challenge the court's jurisdiction or make threatening statements may face serious consequences, including additional charges or enforcement actions, as demonstrated when a sovereign citizen defendant was ordered to appear in person and faced investigation after making threatening remarks toward the judge.

>> I want to challenge jurisdiction.
You want to challenge jurisdiction? Yes.
Of whom?

>> On what grounds?
>> What crime did I commit?
>> Pardon?
>> What crime did I commit?
>> To allege that you committed the crime that if you want to interrupt me, I'll answer your question.
>> But if you want to keep interrupting me, I'm I'm not going to play that way. I'll answer your question. You're accused of the crime of attempted resist or not attempted but resisting and obstructing a police officer.
>> But we all aware that this never transpired, right?
>> I am not aware of that.

Court does call the case people versus Dwight Miller.
>> Felt is for the people.
>> Michael Gaddy, assistant public defender on behalf of Mr. Miller. Your honor, >> he's still muted.
I believe he is uh orange pants, white shirt judge.
>> I got it.
>> I was just happy I could read it.
>> Thank you for pointing that out. I figured out where he was. Oh, there he is.
>> This hearing starts turning chaotic almost immediately once the defendant begins challenging the court's jurisdiction and calling himself an American state national. Instead of focusing on the actual criminal charge, he repeatedly demands the judge produce an oath of office, delegation of power, and even a shity bond. Meanwhile, the judge tries to keep the hearing grounded in normal courtroom procedure while defense council clearly struggles to stop the situation from spiraling. What makes this fascinating is that the judge stays surprisingly patient at first. He answers several of the defendants questions directly, explains where his authority comes from, and even warns him not to disrespect his own attorney. But the tension keeps building because every attempt to move the case forward gets interrupted by more constitutional arguments, accusations of false arrest, and claims that everyone involved is lying. And honestly, by the time new potential charges are mentioned, you can already feel the hearing moving towards something much more serious than a simple probable cause conference.
>> Mr. Miller, can you state your name, please?
>> You may be muted yet.
>> No, he's not muted.
Sir, can you state your name?
>> Order for the record.
>> Uh, my name is Dwight Miller. I'm American State National. I'm here challenge jurisdiction. I'm here on special appearance establish jurisdiction, bro. Um, >> can we approach?
>> Your honor, I need to challenge jurisdiction.
>> Okay. How are you intending on doing that? Well, your honor, can you can you show me your um how I'm supposed to do this?
>> See, there certain certain things I can't remember because y'all got me in here and I don't have access to the law books, but it's okay.
>> Um >> Oh, there certain things you want me to show your delegation of power, sir.
>> Pardon?
>> Can you show me your delegation of power and your oath?
>> My delegation of power?
>> Yeah. It came from the people of Washington County that elected me. I have a certification of election in back. You want it, >> Mr. Miller?
>> I got a copy of your shy bond, please.
And your oath office?
>> My shity bond? I don't have one. I'm insured by the county.
>> So, you don't have one?
>> Okay. You don't have a shy bond, huh?
>> So, what's your mis >> oath to the constitution, right?
>> Yes.
>> I'd advise you not to continue this line.
Man, I'm in here. I'm I didn't got victimized this morning. Are you serious?
>> Can I get a breakout room with my attorney or my so-called attorney?
>> So-called attorney? No, he's a very good attorney and he's not a so-called attorney and you'll not refer to him that way because as you won't be disrespected, neither will he.
>> Okay. May I speak with with the attorney at a breakout room?
>> You can do that on your own time. He doesn't get a breakout room here because he's live in the courtroom.
>> Okay. So, >> so what are we doing with his case now that my jurisdiction has been established?
>> Okay. I'll put the motion in for dismissal because ain't no so-called witness to sign a sworn affidavit against me.
>> Please approach your honor >> and not end this.
>> Yeah. Oh, of course. Yes, you can. You may approach.
So, how is y'all having a conversation without me being there?
>> Okay, we're back for the record in the uh Dwight Miller case. Um, what I'm going to do, council, you're requesting an adjournment in this matter.
>> I am, your honor. I upon information belief there may be a new case coming. I understand Mr. Mill this morning. So, I want to I object. I object anything she talking about. First and foremost, how was you testifying?
>> What you doing?
>> First and foremost, uh, your honor, I want this original I want this charge dismissed, man. At no time given the lady, >> I know I heard your motion to dismiss. I denied it already.
>> She Okay. Under under Listen, your honor, under the constitution, uh, what is it exactly? The maximums of law. If somebody if something come from a falsehood, what is that? The first words out this woman's mouth, she lied.
She made a story. Thomas is a weapon because nobody had no weapon.
>> I believe he's speaking of the complaining witness, but uh >> Oh, the complaining witness. Oh, not >> but Mr. Miller, I I would advise you not to say anything more. Given the circumstances, it may be prudent uh to uh um um discuss this matter further and to see uh there's a couple whole there's a couple other things pending as well as um a potential new charge they're indicating. Uh this might be something we want to uh uh set over for a week.
>> No, no, no. I I'm not worried about no new lies. Look at me. I got beat up this morning, bro. I called Pittsfield police 13 times. I was getting assaulted.
Assaulted with tasers and [ __ ] >> I put it on the record. Then all of a sudden they want to switch it up to make it seem like I'm threatening somebody. I ain't threaten no one.
>> Okay. Okay. But we can't resolve threaten no one. The same people that's making these statements. They all three on felony probation. They didn't got caught. They house just got raided >> and then they up here playing line up on me.
>> Okay. So look, we can't resolve that today. This moment becomes extremely important legally because the judge decides to slow the situation down instead of forcing the hearing forward while emotions are boiling over. At this point, the defendant is loudly insisting he was assaulted, falsely accused, and targeted by witnesses who were allegedly on felony probation themselves. But despite all the interruptions, the judge keeps redirecting everything back toward procedure and evidence. What stands out is that the court is now dealing with multiple possible issues at once. the original resisting and obstructing allegation, possible new charges, and the defendant's increasingly disruptive courtroom behavior. And from the judge's perspective, rushing through that confusion would only create more problems later. So instead of escalating the confrontation, he adjourns the matter for a week, keeps Bond in place, and gives everyone time to sort out the allegations properly. That procedural pause probably prevents the hearing from becoming even more chaotic than it already was.
And I think the best thing to so that everybody can try to figure out what's going on is I'm going to adjourn it out a week rather than two weeks. I'll try to expedite it. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of it all.
>> So probable cause confirmed to November 6, 2025, 9:00 a.m. Bond will continue. And I should correct my statement. You are that mag thing we saw we discussed with the I think it's just the court he's going to I don't know that it's involving the court.
>> Say thank you.
>> So I just got railroaded. Huh?
>> No. No. That's not railroaded. I'll let you know when I'm not consenting to none of this.
>> The lady the >> Yeah. Cut him. Cut him. Get him. I'm done. I'm so done. Is he gone?
Court calls case people versus Dwight Miller.
>> Mr. Miller, it's my understanding, Mr. Miller.
>> Is that Mr. Miller? I don't know what you're showing us, but what would you state your name for the record?
>> American State National. Uh, all my rights have been violated. Um, they came through.
>> Did you state your name first? American State National. Man, your honor, I've been asking for the whole time, man. There ain't no firearm.
There never was a firearm. Uh, I was kidnapped. My rights was violated. The lady lied on the scene. She said she called the police, said somebody pointed a firearm at her. Then when the police came on the scene, she made that statement again. And then it was proven.
The cameras proved none of that happened.
>> If you want to try to overtalk me, you can. It's not going to work.
Dwight, >> it's not the time for you to try to litigate your case.
>> Where's the firearm?
>> Dwight, I was just Dwight, just listen.
I was just appointed yesterday. Mr. Gaddy, he gave me the uh discovery this morning. Why don't we ask for a twoe adjourment and you and I can talk.
>> Where's the firearm? Where's Where's the Where's the Where's the so-called person that's the victim that signed a warning?
>> Any objection from the people?
>> No, your honor.
>> Probable cause conference. Will we adjourn?
>> I object. I object. I object. I don't get >> noted and denied.
>> You violated my constitution 2025.
>> I'm about to write you up.
>> And you know what? So, let's do it this way. That hearing will be in person.
>> So, if you got something come right here and say, "My back messed up. Mute him."
>> You know, my back messed up.
>> You're welcome.
Court does call the case people versus Dwight Miller.
>> Calls for the people.
>> Good afternoon. Rob J. Kilwald calling outside of Judge Slay's courtroom. Uh good afternoon, your honor. Dwight, would you stay for the record?
>> I'm American State National. I'm a I'm appearing sue jurist. You is not my attorney. That's not working for me. Uh we got a whole issue. My my all my constitutional rights have been violated. I want it on the record. Uh, I was arrested by a lie. I want it on.
>> Okay, first of all, I'm going to stop this. I directed this defendant to be in this courthouse in person back >> and he is not here in person. I am not going to sit here and listen to him ramble on and on about everything. I don't mind hearing from people. If you're going to say it all, you're going to say it to my face. Ben, you want defendants failure to appear? No. We'll get him here. Thank you.
You can mute him. Thank you, Mr. Killow.
>> Judge, if I may say, he does have some medical issues. That being said, all I wanted to do was set it for exam.
>> Well, when he gets here and graces our doorstep, I'll be more than happy to set it.
>> All right, I'll bring my constitutional book. Thank you, your honor. Thank you.
All right. Thank you, Mr. >> Court does call the case people versus Gary Coward.
of the people.
>> Good afternoon.
>> Hey Simpson, I'm coming to see you, bro.
You violating my constitutional rights.
I am coming to see you, bro.
>> Hey, I hope you are not making a threat against me cuz that's going to cause you a whole bunch of other problems. Get that number.
>> Yeah, I bet you it did log out.
>> Get that number. It We'll have the full number. We'll go find him. Get the detective bureau on that, please. All right, let's go.
>> By the end of this hearing, the courtroom tension completely explodes.
What began as jurisdiction challenges and arguments about constitutional rights suddenly turns into statements that the judge immediately treats as a potential threat. And once that happens, the tone of the entire proceeding changes instantly. Throughout the hearing, the defendant repeatedly insisted he was being railroaded, falsely arrested, and denied his constitutional rights. But the judge consistently focused on courtroom procedure, appearance requirements, and maintaining control of the hearing. Even when the defendant became argumentative and disruptive, the judge continued trying to move the case forward through formal legal process instead of personal confrontation. But that final outburst changes everything. The moment the judge hears language that could be interpreted as threatening, he immediately orders court staff to preserve the phone number and involve investigators. And honestly, that shows how quickly courtroom conduct itself can create even bigger legal consequences.
