Judge dumbfounded as man with suspended license joins court hearing while driving

A Michigan man with a suspended driving license has been dubbed online as one of the "world's dumbest criminals" after he joined a Zoom court hearing while driving a car.

Corey Harris attended his May 15 hearing via Zoom while driving, as shown in a video on Judge Cedric Simpson’s YouTube page.

Judge Simpson asked if Harris was driving during the call as Harris claimed he was parking at his doctor's office and would be ready in "one second".

After confirming Harris was "stationary," Harris' attorney, Natalie Pate, requested a two to four week adjournment.

Simpson reviewed the case and questioned, "This is a driving while license suspended?"

Pate confirmed it involved driving without a license.

Simpson noted Harris was driving despite his suspension, saying, "No, I'm looking at his record. He doesn't have a license. He's suspended, and he's just driving."

Pate confirmed this was correct.

Simpson, incredulous, remarked, "I don't even know why he would do that," with Harris still on the Zoom call from his car.

Simpson then revoked Harris' bond and ordered him to turn himself in to Washtenaw County Jail by the evening.

Harris reacted with, "Oh, my God".

He actually gasped. He forgot he wasn’t supposed to drive? How dumb can a person be?

[michiganborn]

As a Michigan native, I disown this genius.

[hoosierdaddy]

I bet he drove himself to jail later. lol

[hippocondriaque]

The kind of guy who goes to AA with a bottle of whiskey.

Surprised the Judge didn't let him get away with it

If you look up the definition of Stoopid in the Oxford Dictionary, there's a picture of this dude.

[RachaelHall-.]

Very few people are legitimately and for real THAT STOOPID!

[franksnowboarder]

He was fighting the driving while suspended charges. That what the court appearance was for. He was doing the thing he was claiming he did not do in the case!

[ChristopherSaindon]

This is an innocent man, as his license in the state of MI was reinstated in 2022!

[brettrichards]

The defendant realised he made a major error and immediately drove home after his Doctors appointment true 😮

[mjabdinoor]

Update: His license was never suspended to begin with. It was a clerical error.

[dgonz]

Can’t make it up!! I can imagine the judge laughing about it afterwards.
