Michigan man with suspended license joins court hearing while driving, stuns judge

(TEGNA) A Michigan man stunned a judge during his video court hearing for a driving with a suspended license charge when he joined the hearing from behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.

The judge immediately interjected when Corey Harris joined his May 15 court hearing via Zoom with a visible seatbelt, clearly driving a car.

"Are you driving?" Hon. Judge Cedric Simpson asked the defendant.

"Actually, I'm pulling into my doctor's office," Harris replied. "Just give me one second, I'm parking right now."

The judge was visibly amused by the situation and chuckled before his tone became more serious as he read through the case.

"Maybe I don't understand something. This is a driving with license suspended?" Simpson asked Harris' attorney, who confirmed those were the charges Harris faced. "And he was just driving? And he didn't have a license."

The judge sat in a stunned silence before ordering Harris' bond revoked, requiring him to turn himself into jail or face a bench warrant for his arrest.

"I don’t even know why he would do that,” Simpson said as he shook his head.

The judge trying to hold in his laugh is everything in this video🤣

[GIGATT]

I'm speechless. Even the Judge couldn't believe what he just saw.

[SansoHumar]

All he had to do was do the zoom call at home. Then after the court appt head to his doctor. No one would’ve known but him. Couldn’t even close his mouth on how shocked he was at doing a crime while zooming with the judge. Dumb da dumb dumb

I love the whole, "Oh wait, so I should hang up now?" vibe he has at the end of the video.

Looking at the judges face its like hes going through all 5 stages of grief in about 2 minutes

He was later found to have been caught up in a big mistake and the charges were dropped. But it was still very stupid what he did regardless lol.
