Michigan Man is at it again causing humorous chaos in a virtual traffic court. This time, a man appeared in Zoom virtual court with the username ‘Buttfucker 3000.’ He explained the title was an “inside joke” but the judge wasn’t amused.

As Jalopnik’s Senior Zoom Fail Correspondent, I feel it’s my solemn duty to report that yet another Michigan resident has let down his state via Zoom. In this case, Nathaniel Saxton appeared in virtual court in Michigan with the username “Buttfucker 3000.” The judge was so not impressed that, as Law & Crime reports, he almost got charged with contempt of court.

A Michigan judge appeared miffed Tuesday when a man charged with possessing drug paraphernalia logged in to his virtual arraignment with the screen name “Buttf- - -er 3000.”
Judge Jeffrey Middleton of Centreville, Michigan, chastised the defendant, identified as Nathaniel Saxton by the Detroit News and Law & Crime, and Nathaniel Saxaon by Vice.
All three publications have the video.
“We’ll bring this fool in,” Middleton said before the defendant and the full screen name (with no asterisks) appeared in the video.
Middleton immediately asked the defendant for his name. The man gave his real name.
