A Michigan man went viral for driving with a suspended license. But he never had one [never had a license]
Mods: Let me know if you want me to remove the clarification I put in brackets in the headline, I thought it was necessary.
A previously posted article claimed he was actually in court for a clerical error. He was not.
But since that incident made national headlines, the story has taken several turns. Following Harris’ arrest and two-day stint in jail, it was reported that his license was actually supposed to have been reinstated more than two years prior and that a clerical error was responsible for the embarrassing incident.
That, however, is not the case, Angela Benander, director of communications for the Michigan Department of State told NPR.
“This isn’t a clerical error. This is a failure of action,” she said.
In a new hearing this week, Judge Simpson makes clear that Harris never actually had an eligible driver’s license. And records from Michigan’s Department of State, obtained by NPR, show this as well.
