NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Detroit police officer left a judge momentarily speechless after appearing in a virtual court hearing wearing his official uniform shirt and badge — but without pants.
Officer Matthew Jackson of the Detroit Police Department joined a Zoom session Monday for a case involving disorderly conduct and drag racing, a type of reckless driving involving cars racing over a short distance, according to a video of the hearing posted by the 36th District Court.
The video clip has since gone viral across social media.

Video of the hearing shows Jackson seated before the camera dressed in his official police button-up shirt and badge with what appeared to be dark-colored boxer shorts below.
A visibly startled attorney on the call reacted to the sight as Judge Sean Perkins paused and then asked in disbelief, “You got some pants on, officer?”
“No, sir,” Jackson replied, before quickly adjusting his phone to shift the camera away from his legs.

Though clearly surprised, Judge Perkins attempted to continue with the proceeding without further comment. It remains unclear why Jackson appeared without pants during the hearing.
In a statement sent to Fox News Digital on Thursday, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison apologized on behalf of the department, calling the officer’s conduct “not representative of the professionalism” of the police department.

“The Detroit Police Department requires its officers to represent themselves in a dignified and professional manner while attending court proceedings,” Bettison said. “The involved officer’s actions are not representative of the professionalism of this department and will be appropriately addressed to maintain the public confidence and efficient operation of this department.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Students at South Dakota Mines heard Wednesday from retired four-star general Maryanne Miller about her journey to the highest ranks of the U.S. military.
Miller is a retired four-star U.S. Air Force general. She is the only member of the Air Force Reserve ever to be promoted to this level.
She spoke about finding greatness and living a life of fulfillment. Her stories came from her time in the Air Force and as a volunteer for Saint Teresa of Calcutta’s Missionaries of Charity.
“We so much get focused on what is our next step in life, what’s the next career move, how do we make ourselves better in our career, and we forget about how do we make ourselves better as a human being,” Miller said. “Because they have to go tandem. If it’s not tandem, you’re going to get off track.”
Miller was commissioned in 1981 and rose through the ranks before becoming a four-star general in 2018. She was the only woman serving as a four-star officer in the military at the time. She retired in 2020 after serving for almost 40 years.
