FLORIDA – A video of a Florida man, facing an attempted burglary charge, is making rounds on social media after he was seen flirting with the judge presiding over his case on Thursday.
The man in the viral video is Demetrius Lewis who appeared before Judge Tabitha Blackmon via ‘Zoom’ hearing, as he tried to break into a home where three of the children slept inside.
He appeared by saying ‘How you doin?’ twice. The accused while watching his screen said, ‘Judge, you is so gorgeous…I just have to tell you, you’re gorgeous.’ The man continued to flirt with cheesy compliments, telling her that he ‘loves’ her.

The judge after getting the unusual comments said, ‘Alright Mr. Lewis. Flattery will get you everywhere. But maybe not here.’
As the man failed to impress the judge and secure freedom, he definitely left the social media entertained.
