A Metro Detroit woman joined a Zoom call for a court hearing while driving a car, and then lied about it to a district judge on Wednesday (25 March).

Kimberly Carroll was due to attend a hearing in 33rd District Court in Woodhaven before Judge Michael K McNally.

She dialled into the Zoom late without her camera on. When she turned it on, it showed that she was in a moving car.

Judge McNally told Carroll that she could not be driving during the hearing, but she insisted that she was a passenger.

Carroll's video appeared to be filmed from the driver's side.

“How would you be on the left-hand side if you’re a passenger in the front seat?” McNally asked.

“You know, you’re lying to me, right?”

The judge entered a default judgment due to her late appearance and her conduct.
