Man Jailed 60 Days for Saying His Name Is James Bond
Indiana man jailed for telling police his real name, James Bond Jr.
James Bond Jr., from South Bend, Indiana, was pulled over by police and asked for identification, which he lacked.
When he stated his name, the officer doubted him, leading to a charge of obstructing police.
A judge ruled Bond said his name in a “joking manner,” sentencing him to 60 days in jail.
The incident, featured in the documentary The Other Fellow, highlighted the challenges of sharing the famous 007 name.
Bond noted it changed his view of police.
