A "living woman" is behind bars after a bizarre stand-off with a magistrate over her name, whether she is a person, and her refusal to apply for bail.
Elvira Shagabuddinova, 39, refused to approach the bar table and stood at the back of the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon, charged with driving while suspended, two counts of assaulting a front-line community service provider, and three counts of resisting a territory public official.
