REVEALED: Michigan man who appeared in Zoom traffic court with suspended license rearrested after discovery he never had valid license

On Wednesday, Harris appeared in court again, where Washtenaw County Judge J. Cedric Simspon revealed that there had never been a license to suspend. Under state law, residents can receive a suspension on their driving record regardless of whether they have a license.

According to WXYZ, Simpson pointed out that Michiganders are only allowed to have either a driver's license or state ID, and that records showed Harris renewed the latter every year.

"Let me make it very clear, based on what the court looked at," the judge said. "[Harris] has never had a Michigan license, ever, and 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."

Simpson questioned why Harris hadn't been upfront about the fact he never had a license, and instead chose to cause all this "hoopla" in the court.

It was previously reported that Harris had his suspension lifted by a judge in 2022, but that the Saginaw County Friend of the Court never gave clearance to the Michigan Secretary of State's Office informing them of the ruling. Simpson noted, however, that this was because Harris never paid the necessary fees.

It was also revealed that Harris had an outstanding arrest warrant for driving with a suspended license from 2015. Simpson ordered that he be held, pending a decision by the Allen Park police. If they choose not to pick up the case, he will be released on $500 bond.

Harris' next court appearance is scheduled for August 7. In the meantime, he said he will look into getting his license.
