Marshall E. Home, a self-styled 'sovereign citizen' in Arizona and former Tucson mayoral candidate, has been arrested on two federal charges of making false claims related to a "business" he ran that purported to save homes from foreclosure.
The complaint alleges that Home also tried to place the U.S. in bankruptcy in March, and falsely claimed he had a claim of $3 billion against the federal government.
Home, 81, was arrested Friday in Tucson after a criminal complaint charged him with two counts of false claims in bankruptcy. The complaint identifies him as a sovereign citizen -- someone who doesn't believe in the legitimacy of the U.S. government.
According to the complaint, Home and another individual operate "Individual Rights Party; Mortgage Rescue Service," which claims it can help people stop foreclosure on their homes for a $500 fee as part of his "larger overall bankruptcy liquidation."
