In an unexpected twist, the Michigan man who made headlines for participating in a court hearing for his suspended license while driving via Zoom has been taken into police custody. It was revealed in court that the man, identified as Corey Harris, has never possessed a legal driver's license in his entire life, both in Michigan and across the United States.

Harris appeared before Judge Cedric Simpson in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, following the viral incident that occurred during his May 15 court hearing. During the Zoom call, Judge Simpson was taken aback as he noticed Harris driving. In response, he ordered Harris to turn himself in later that day.

The subsequent hearing, which was initially expected to be brief, lasted close to 30 minutes as Judge Simpson probed into Harris' statements made during his original arrest in October 2023. Harris claimed that he was unaware of driving on a suspended license, but Judge Simpson contradicted this, asserting that Harris had never possessed a valid license anywhere in the country.

Despite Harris' claim that his situation was the result of an honest mistake, Judge Simpson emphasized that there were no clerical errors involved. Rather, the fault lay with Harris for not taking the necessary steps to reinstate his driving privileges.

During an interview with a local television station, Harris claimed that he hadn't attempted to correct his license due to being housebound following an October accident. However, Judge Simpson presented evidence that Harris had visited the Secretary of State's office on December 28, 2023 to obtain a new Michigan ID, implying that he knowingly didn't have a license.

In response to the prosecution's criticism of the story's viral nature, Judge Simpson made it clear that Harris needed to take responsibility for his actions. Defense Attorney Dionne E. Webster-Cox expressed her desire to rectify the situation and fix Harris' record moving forward, asserting that Harris was not responsible for the ensuing "hoopla."

Despite Webster-Cox's efforts, Harris was promptly taken into police custody due to an outstanding bench warrant for driving with a suspended license. Judge Simpson stated that he would grant Harris a nominal bond for his release. Harris' next court date has been set for August 7, providing him with ample time to obtain a valid license.

As this unusual case continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic laws and the consequences of driving without a proper license.
