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.

“Good morning sir, what’s your name?” asks Middleton.
