In Southern Michigan, Judge Jeffrey in St Joseph County told users to “bring this fool in,” and moments after, they popped up on the screen was a username that was not appropriate for its event.

The judge still welcomes him but with an annoyed tone, “Good morning, sir, what’s your name?”

The defendant was quiet for a few seconds before realizing that the judge was talking to him. After he noticed, he replies with his name, which is Nathaniel Saxton. He is not the only one in the zoom call, there were at least eight other people who were in the Zoom call with them.

After reading and finding out the defendant’s username, the judge is straight and forward with his point. He tells Saxton, “Your name’s not Buttf***er 3000, you yo-ho, logging in to my court with that as your screen name.” There’s a pause before he continues, “What kind of idiot logs into court like that?”

The defendant seems to be shocked, responding that he didn’t believe that he had typed anything like that for his username. The judge states that it’s what it says, and others in the Zoom call witnessed the moment the judge called him out.

Saxton was originally called to court due to a drug paraphernalia charge, proceeding the charge as an alleged violation and could lead up to 90 days in prison. This does not even cover the $500 fine that might come along with it.

As the case goes on, Saxton had pleaded not guilty, but had found that he had a used syringe with meth on it.

He tried to apologize for his username, and the judge says that he should. He tells him that he will put himself in the waiting room to “think about what you call yourself online,” and then ejects him from the Zoom meeting. He comes back with a proper username, but misspells his own name. It reads: Nathaniel Saxaon.

His explanation is that his sister had set up his Zoom account, and Saxton is embarrassed for what has happened. He was almost put in jail for contempt of court, and was handed the fine for taking responsibility of the drug paraphernalia.
