School break-in suspect twerks in court

MIAMI -- (WKMG) -- It wasn't exactly Jailhouse Rock, but it was pretty close.

The usually mundane proceedings at Miami-Dade County bond court turned into a high-energy dance party Thursday morning.

Calvin Griffith, 30, showed off his Miley Cyrus-esque moves to the judge during his first appearance on charges that he broke into a local school and stole an employees car keys and then the car.

While facing Judge Catherine Pooler, Griffith broke out into a twerking routine that would have teens raising the roof if twerking was still a thing and "raising the roof" was still a cool term.

Laughter can be heard throughout the proceedings, but Judge Pooler kept a straight face and did not appear to be amused.

The accused criminal also appears to say "Hi Mom" when he realizes he's appearing on an in-court camera.
