Michigan man with a suspended license appears in court, via Zoom, while driving

WASHTENAW COUNTY, Mich. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - A judge was left surprise after a man with a suspended license made his court appearance while driving.

Michigan District Judge J. Cedric Simpson was visibly shocked when a man virtually attended court behind the wheel.

Corey Harris appeared before Judge Simpson via Zoom on May 15 for a case involving him driving with a suspended license. However, Judge Simpson quickly noticed that Harris was wearing a seatbelt and the vehicle was in motion.

Harris' public defender requested a four-week adjournment, but it was denied.

Judge Simpson denied his bond and said he must turn himself into the Washtenaw County Jail by the end of the day.
