Athol man uses law of Moses to sue

A 79-year-old Athol man is suing an Idaho Transportation Department employee for $6.6 million in damages after the employee suspended his driver’s license, but he wants to do it using Mosaic Law. Peter Christian Jensen IV filed the suit against Edward R. Pemble on April 14, after a lengthy and unsuccessful process of petitioning the court to waive his $221 in filing fees.
