Michigan man who phoned into court for suspended license arrested for never having one in the first place WXYZ-TV DetroitThe internet-famous man who phoned into his court hearing for a suspended license while driving has once again been arrested after authorities learned he\u2019d never even had a driver\u2019s license to begin with. The saga of 44-year-old Michigan resident Corey Harris is taking over social media, with yet another twist leaving netizens\u2019 jaws on the floor. On May 15, 2024, Harris joined a Zoom call while driving to a doctor\u2019s office for his court hearing regarding his suspended license. The incident went viral online, thanks to the judge\u2019s stunned reaction and Harris\u2019s subsequent realization of what he\u2019d done. However, it wasn\u2019t long before viewers began saying they needed to \u201capologize\u201d to Harris after it was found that a judge had ordered the suspension to be rescinded back in 2022 \u2014 something Harris said was \u201cvery embarrassing.\u201d After spending two days in jail, Harris attempted to resolve the issue with the Secretary of State, also revealing that he\u2019d been driving his sick wife to the doctor during the time of his infamous hearing. Harris wouldn\u2019t have the internet\u2019s sympathy for long, though. Mere days later, thanks to resurfaced records discovered by Washtenaw County Judge J. Cedric Simpson showed that Harris never even had a valid driver\u2019s license to begin with. On top of that, Harris also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest due to driving with a suspended license. Although he boasted a state-issued ID, which he renewed on a regular basis, he\u2019d never been issued a driver\u2019s license. \u201cLet me make it very clear, based on what the court looked at \u2014 [Harris] has never had a Michigan license. Ever,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cAnd he has never had a license in the other 49 states and commonwealths that form up this great union. He has never had a license.\u201d \u201cHe has religiously, every year, gotten a new ID. And so he knows that he doesn\u2019t have a license,\u201d Simpson continued. \u201cAnd quite frankly, I wish he would have said this at the beginning, and all of this hoopla could have been put aside.\u201d Now, Harris is working toward getting his learner\u2019s permit, and eventually his license, as told in a statement to the court by his lawyer, Dionne Webster-Cox. \u201cFrom this day forward, he is working diligently to take the steps necessary to get a driver\u2019s license,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
