‘Moorish National’ Loses Appeal Of House-Squatting Conviction
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
A man who identifies as a “Moorish National” sovereign citizen immune from state and federal law had no luck persuading the Indiana Court of Appeals to overturn his convictions arising from his occupancy of an Indianapolis house that was being prepared for sale after foreclosure.
Wendell Brown, also known as Menes Ankh El, was found squatting in a home on West 39th Street in Indianapolis in April 2012, when a listing agent drove by on an occasional inspection of the property. Ankh El told the agent he had purchased the property, at which time the agent called police.
Ankh El told police he had documents proving his ownership of the home, and he later produced a self-made identification card and a deed he had drafted entitled “Freehold in Deed†giving him possession of the property. Police arrested him and found he had moved himself and many possessions into the house.
A jury convicted Ankh El on all five counts — Class C felonies burglary and forgery, Class D felony theft, and misdemeanors trespass and driving while suspended. The theft and trespass convictions were merged as lesser-included offenses and he was sentenced to four years, with two served in community corrections and two suspended to probation.
The Court of Appeals affirmed Tuesday, rejecting much of Ankh El’s appeal based on Moorish National sovereign citizen arguments that courts and laws of the state didn’t apply to him. Ankh El “argues that he is ‘a member of the ‘sovereignty’ and is ‘not bound by general words in statutes,†Judge Patricia Riley wrote for the panel. “Instead, ‘[a]s a sentient being,’ he claims that he is ‘governed by common law and [has] the natural right to do anything which [his] inclinations may suggest, if it be not evil in itself, and in no way impairs the rights of others. … We find no merit in (his) rambling contentions.â€
The panel held that the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction over Ankh El; the denial of his request to retain “Consuls from the Moorish American Nation†was proper because they were not licensed to practice law in Indiana; the evidence was sufficient; the charging information was not defective for listing his given name of Wendell Brown; and the court did not exhibit prejudice resulting in fundamental error by preventing him from presenting an adverse-possession defense.
Ankh El told the agent and police “that he was the owner of the property, which he had recently purchased for $250,000 … created a deed purporting to claim the Property as his own, and he filed this homemade document with the Marion County Recorder,†Riley wrote in Wendell Brown a/k/a Menes Ankh El v. State of Indiana,
49A05-1311-CR-550. “He also hung a flag on the front gate, changed all of the locks, and posted multiple signs warning against trespassing†after moving in with his possessions. “… [I]t is apparent (he) intended to steal the Property from its owner(s).â€

By Susan Stamper Brown
Watching the recent anti-Trump post-victory riots on television and the temper tantrums on social media, it’s become obvious that, without Divine intervention, the ever-fearful Millennial generation will become known as America’s Lost Generation.
As someone who has been forced to face a few of her biggest fears against her will, I can say with some authority that while everything you fear will probably never come to pass, those things which do can make you better. Safe spaces are the last thing these crybabies need.
During his first inaugural address in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to fear before a justifiably fear-ridden nation during the Great Depression telling them, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.â€
Depression-era Americans were dealing with real fears like massive unemployment, homelessness and starvation. Families lucky enough to have jobs lost 40 percent of their income. Many people lost all their savings when banks collapsed, leaving millions homeless and hungry and resulting in a 50 percent rise in parents turning their kid’s over to custodial institutions to prevent starvation.
Additionally, upwards of 250,000 kids too young to leave home hitchhiked or rode the train rails in search of work or a better place to survive, unlike today’s coddled snowflakes blessed with full bellies and equipped with the latest iPhones who are currently in meltdown mode due to groundless fears over a duly elected president.
After the election, despondent snowflakes lit up social media with fear-filled updates about the world ending and how a Trump presidency would ignite racism. Meanwhile, many so-called “love trumps hate†Trump haters were burning cities, vandalizing cars and attacking innocent bystanders, sometimes simply because they were white, or, God forbid, Republican.
A fear of offending peers also caused them to remain silent when Twitter accounts erupted with calls for the assassination of president-elect Trump and vice president-elect Pence. The idea that blacks can be racist too is lost on them, even after viewing the YouTube video of a mob of black thugs pummeling an elderly white man to the ground, savagely delivering repeated blows to his head while voices in the background taunted, “You voted Donald Trump…Beat his a**… Don’t vote Trump.â€
Our snowflakes also acknowledge fear over Trump’s take on immigration, although their coolest president ever, President Obama, “deported more people than any other president’s administration in history,â€ABC News reports.
Evidently, some are so frightened by Trump’s victory they believe people must die, like the young Latina woman on cable news who said, “There will be casualties on both sides…because people have to die…Trump, enough with your racism. Stop splitting families. Don’t split my family.†Apparently, because he’s black, Obama can’t be labeled “racist†for deporting more than 2.5 million people between 2009 and 2015.
Trump’s words about borders and legal immigration send our delicate snowflakes into their respective safe spaces when they aren’t throwing temper-tantrums. They have no clue their safe spaces aren’t safe if ISIS sympathizers come calling as they’ve vowed to do. They fear a man who promises to make their safe spaces safer when he curtails the terrorism that’s skyrocketed domestically and worldwide under Obama.
Apart from a relative few, logic and rational thought is all but lost on what is at this point, America’s Lost Generation. Especially compared to America’s Greatest Generation, whose young people faced real fears, survived the Great Depression, then lined up in droves to fight in World War II. Or like the Generation Xers who were predominately the major heroes after the September 11 terrorist attacks as leaders of Flight 93’s revolt, first responders in New York City and patriots who joined the military to fight.
In sharp contrast and just as FDR alluded in his fateful first speech, too many Millennials have allowed “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror†to prevent “needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.â€
Preliminary sessions begin at 10 am EST for all three days, with finals sessions beginning at 6 pm EST on Friday and Saturday, and 5 pm EST on Sunday.
The Aces’ last outing was at Indiana State against the Sycamores and Rose-Hulman.
The men started their day with a one-two finish in the 200 Medley Relay. The team of freshman Isaac Devaney, senior Everett Plocek, junior Prescott Marcy, and senior Matt Childress took the win at a 1:37.76. Sophomores Blake Wheeler, Derek Stauder, Matt Duke, and Jared Sutphin followed suit at 1:38.89.
Sutphin had continued success individually. His winning time in the 1000 freestyle clocked in at 10:13.21, a fourteen second drop from his best time as an Ace. He also took the 100 freestyle with a 47.65, outtouching second place by .04. His performance yielded another personal record.
Freshman Brandt Hudson shone once again as well. He took top honors in the 200 freestyle with the time of 1:45.47. Zach Sagan took third with a 1:49.83. Hudson took an additional victory in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:51.56. Senior Andrew Cotton took second with a 4:59.84, and Sagan clocked in at 5:01.34 for fourth.
Dan O’Brien claimed the 100 backstroke for the Aces with a final time of 53.15. Devaney added extra points with a second place finish at a time of 55.18, and Brendan Ninneman took fourth with 56.44. O’Brien and Devaney also went 1-2 in the 200 backstroke, clocking in at 1:59.22 and 2:00.17 respectively. Everett Plocek won the 100 breaststroke by a wide margin with a 58.63.
Freshman Paul Cozzens took the win in the 200 breaststroke with a 2:13.95, with Derek Stauder touching in at 2:19.04 for third place. Cozzens won the 200 IM as well with a 2:00.86, with Ninneman in third with a time of 2:05.64. Cozzens finished his day with a second place in the 200 butterfly with a final time of 1:58.46.
The men finished with a final victory in the 400 Freestyle Relay. Brandt Hudson, Blake Wheeler, Jared Sutphin, and Matt Duke outtouched Rose-Hulman’s 3:11.21 with their own 3:11.14.
The women’s team shared success of their own. They kicked off the morning with a win in the 200 Medley Relay. Senior Michaela Kent, freshmen Alaina Sylvester and Emma Hennessy, and junior Danielle Freeman teamed up to finish with a final time of 1:48.64.
Kent took an individual victory in the 100 backstroke, and her time of 58.12 was a full second quicker than the second place finisher. Senior Taylor Davidson took fourth at 59.93. Davidson moved on to take second place in the 200 backstroke, touching in at 2:07.34, while Kent finished in third at 2:08.85.
Danielle Freeman continued her season of success as well. She took the 50 freestyle with the top time of 24.09. Sophomore Kaylee Gubricky touched in at third place and freshman Emma Hennessy in fourth with times of 25.29 and 25.30 respectively. Freeman won the 100 freestyle as well with a 52.68.
Freshman Kristy Kupfer took the Aces’ next victory with a top time of 5:16.41 in the 500 freestyle. Her time was also a season best. Freshman Ashton Adams touched in at third with a 5:24.46. Sophomore Madi Jones had a day of personal success as well in the 200 freestyle; her time of 1:55.75 was a lifetime best. Emma Hennessy took home a personal best in the 100 butterfly with a 1:01.14. Sophomore Megan Schremp showed a 19 second drop for a new personal best in the 1000 freestyle.
Sophomore Kristen Myers also performed well, leading the Aces in her individual events. She clocked in at 2:12. 93 in the 200 butterfly for second place, and 58.82 in the 100 butterfly, again for second place. She took one more second place finish in the 200 IM with a final time of 2:14.61.
The women won the final relay as well. Kent, Jones, Kupfer, and Freeman took the 400 Freestyle Relay with a 3:33.31, nearly five seconds ahead of the second place competition.
Diving took victories on both the men and the women’s sides. Courtney Coverdale took the 1-Meter by a wide margin. Her final score was 281.68, with second place at 201.01. She won the 3-Meter as well with a score of 275.03. Alyssa Vonder Haar took second with 181.70 points. Her score was a 30-point improvement of her personal best. Miguel Marcano showed a strong performance as well. His score of 227.86 points in the 1-Meter and 235.58 in the 3-Meter were enough for victories in both.
ACES COURTNEY COVERALL HONORED BY MVC
For the second consecutive week, junior Courtney Coverdale is being honored by the Missouri Valley Conference. She has been named Diver of the Week for her performance at the House of Champions this past weekend.
During Friday night’s competition on the 3-Meter, Coverdale scored 254.25 points to take second place.
On Saturday, she once again took second place in the 1-Meter with a final score of 231.85 points.
Coverdale and the rest of the Aces return to Wyttenbach Pool on Friday, December 3 to take on the Missouri State Bears.
Brown and Vucetic each had career highs in the game
Jaylon Brown and Sergej Vucetic were the stars of the show as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team opened up the Challenge in Music City with an 83-79 loss in double overtime to Toledo at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
Brown’s final total was the most since D.J. Balentine notched 43 at UNI on January 29, 2014. He hit 14 of his 28 attempts in the game and also hauled in a career-best 11 rebounds. For Brown, it marked his fourth game in a row with 19 points or more to open the season. Vucetic also had a solid game for the Purple Aces (2-2), tallying 13 points and 8 rebounds, both career highs. The Rockets were led by Luke Knapke’s 19 points. Steve Taylor and Jaelan Sanford notched 15 apiece.
“It was a hard-fought game today. We played our hearts out and so did Toledo,†head coach Marty Simmons said. “We showed a lot of fight and did some good things and we will be ready to face UNC Wilmington tomorrow.â€
Toledo came out firing on all cylinders, knocking down four of their first five shots on their way to a 10-3 lead. Following an Aces timeout, the squad responded with 11 points in a row. Jaylon Brown got it started with a runout before connecting on a triple. Ryan Taylor gave UE its first lead at 12-10 as he hit a pair of free throws six minutes in.
Back-and-forth action continued as the Rockets retook the lead at 22-20 and pushed the lead to four before the Aces made their way back in front. Behind 13 first-half points from Brown, the Aces took a 32-29 lead into the break.
Out of the locker room, Brown was at it again. Sergej Vucetic notched two buckets while Brown registered his sixth of the night as the Aces opened up a 38-29 lead in the opening three minutes of the second half. Evansville native Jaelan Sanford ended the run with a triple to get the Rockets within six at 38-32.
Evansville added to its lead, holding a 42-34 advantage with under 14 minutes to go, but Toledo came back. Four quick tallies cut the gap in half before UE punched back to go back up 46-40. Back-to-back treys helped the Rockets go on an 8-2 run as they knotted the score at 48-48 with just over seven minutes remaining.
Jaylon Brown willed the Aces back on top. He scored seven in a row for UE as they retook the lead at 55-50. Toledo kept fighting back as a 7-0 run gave them a 57-55 lead. Brown continued his career performance as his 28th point of the evening gave UE a 63-58 advantage with exactly one minute left on the clock.
Nate Navigato countered with a triple on the other end to get UT within two. After a UE missed bucket, the Rockets tied it up at 63 with a pair of free throws to send the game to overtime. On the first possession of the extra period, they got the lead back with a Steve Taylor jump shot. Brown gave UE the lead back at 67-65 midway through the extra period but the excitement continued as the 8th triple of the night for UT gave them a 68-67 edge.
The score was tied with 15 ticks left before two more free throws put the Rockets back on top. Brown added two more points with six seconds left as the Aces forced another overtime period. He struck first in the second extra session with four in a row to put UE up 76-72. Just as they had all game long, Toledo refused to give up. An and-one by Sanford cut the UE lead to one at 78-77. Following an Aces miss, they took the lead back on a layup and hung on for the 83-79 victory.
Evansville last played in a double overtime game on January 29, 2012, a 90-81 home loss to Indiana State. Prior to that, the Aces played a 2OT contest at Tennessee Tech on Dec. 1, 2009, winning by a final of 91-90.
Tomorrow night, the squad is right back in action as they take on UNC Wilmington at 5 p.m. inside the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
