SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"LADYJUSTICE\"<\/a>A federal judge sentenced\u00a045\u2013year-old Tyrone Eugene Jordan,<\/strong> a self-proclaimed sovereign citizen residing in Houston, to ten years in federal prison for retaliating against a federal judge and prosecutor by filing false liens, officials announced last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the prison term, U.S.District Judge Gray H. Miller<\/strong> ordered that Jordan be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after completing his prison term.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJordan\u2019s sole purpose was to harass these public servants for having done their jobs. Such malicious harassment of public officials is unacceptable. Public officials should not have to suffer such harassment simply because they work to uphold the law,\u201d stated U.S. Attorney Richard L. Durbin, Jr.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On July 15,<\/strong> 2015, a federal jury convicted Jordan of three counts of retaliation against a federal officer or employee by false claim. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence and trial testimony revealed that in October 2014, Jordan filed a fraudulent lien with the Texas Secretary of State which claimed that a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of Texas owed the defendant $6,534,500. <\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2015, the defendant also filed two separate fraudulent documents with the Harris County Clerk\u2019s Office<\/strong> against\u2014Real Property Department claiming that the federal prosecutor and the federal judge were lien debtors, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Testimony also revealed that the defendant filed the fraudulent documents against the victims in retaliation for their roles as prosecutor and sitting judge in a prior criminal case involving the defendant.<\/span><\/p>\n

In April 2010, Jordan was convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling following a jury trial in Corpus Christi. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was subsequently sentenced five years and three months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. On March 9, 2015, Jordan was arrested by federal authorities for violating terms of his supervised release, namely, filing two false liens, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the prison term assessed for retaliating against a federal judge and prosecutor, Judge Miller ordered that Jordan serve ten months in federal prison for violating his supervised release conditions stemming from his April 2010 federal conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n
