“Mr. Harris, are you driving?” Judge Cedric Simpson asked. “I’m parking my car now,” Corey replied.

Harris’ trial lasted only two minutes. As soon as the judge noticed the defendant’s position, he dropped the pen in his hand and laughed briefly. Simpson revoked the defendant’s parole and ordered the man’s arrest for violating a Michigan law prohibiting cell phone use while driving.

“Maybe I’m not understanding something,” the judge said. “Is this a driver’s license suspension?” After confirmation, the lawyer says: “He was just driving the car and did not have a licence. He was suspended and was driving. I don’t know why he does that.“
