Parson admitted that between February and May 2017, she conspired with Holland, who is also known as Zsuzsanna Hegedus, to kidnap the two officials.

Holland describes herself as the Chief Justice of the Universal Supreme Court of the Tsilhqot’in nation.

Based in Williams Lake, members of the “sovereign citizens” group have already been called “vexatious” litigants by a number of B.C. judges over the years.
