Welcome to the graybar hotel - another IRS 'protester'

Some people just do not get a clue. From the Cedar Rapids Gazette:
Marion man claims IRS has no jurisdiction over him
A Marion man has been accused of sending in a fraudulent tax return claiming a refund of all federal taxes he's ever paid because the United States is a "fictional entity" and he is not subject to governmental jurisdiction.

Richard L. Mellor, 53, of 2175 Stratford Dr., was charged with false or fraudulent claims in an indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court.

In August 2003, Mellor sent the return to the Internal Revenue Service claiming a refund of $240,009, court records show. Mellor claimed the taxes were paid in error, in part, because the United States is a fictional entity and he is not subject to the jurisdiction of the IRS.

Mellor also claimed he is not a U.S. citizen � he is a "citizen of Heaven."

If convicted, he faces a possible maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, a $100 special assessment, and three years of supervised release following any imprisonment.

Mellor appeared Thursday in federal court in Cedar Rapids and was released on bond. His trial is set for Nov. 3.

A case Mellor brought against IRS agent Arnold Stevenson in March 2005 after an investigation into this tax return claimed Stevenson was an "agent of a foreign principal," and that he would be guilty of theft if he seized Mellor's money or property "according to international law."
Hey Richard -- word up man; do not drop the soap... Just sayin'
