Deputies pulled over Jacklyn Roose, 28, on Highway 199 in Springtown on Tuesday.

It started out as a stop for a routine traffic violation, but it didn't end that way.

"(Deputies) went a little bit further and had discovered about six ounces of methamphetamine in the vehicle," says Sheriff Russ Authier.

While deputies found the methamphetamine, along with various drug paraphernalia, they didn't find a couple documents that all drivers are expected to have with them at all times.

"She didn't have insurance, nor did she have a driver's license," says Sheriff Authier. "She didn't think she needed one as she stated she was traveling and not driving.

"Sometimes we found in law enforcement that people who call themselves sovereign citizens have the right to freely travel without being influenced or affected by law enforcement," Authier continued.

Despite that alibi, Roose was arrested on various charges and is being held on more than $30,000 bond.
