Clear Facts

• Kimberly Carroll joined a Michigan court hearing via Zoom while operating a vehicle and initially denied being the driver.

A Michigan woman faces a default judgment after she was caught taking part in a virtual court hearing while driving on Zoom.

Kimberly Carroll tried to convince the court she was a passenger, even though she was behind the steering wheel.

Judge Michael K. McNally confronted Carroll when it became obvious she was operating the vehicle.

Despite the visual evidence, Carroll insisted she was a passenger traveling for a family emergency.

“Am I crazy or does it not look like you’re driving that car?”

The judge questioned how she could be a passenger while sitting on the left side of the vehicle.

Carroll eventually pulled into a gas station and exited from the driver’s side of the car.

“Do you think I’m that stupid?”

Attorney Brian Groen represented LVNV Funding in the matter regarding a debt of approximately $1,788.08.

Additional court and service fees brought the total default amount to $1,921.85.

“You lied to me,”

Judge McNally ended the hearing by entering the default judgment due to the defendant’s dishonesty.

This incident follows a similar 2024 viral case in Michigan where a man with a suspended license also joined a Zoom hearing while driving.
