Michigan man stuns judge when he joins video court hearing for driving with a suspended license — while driving

"I'm parking right now."

ANN ARBOR, Mich — 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.
