In classic “Facebook Fail” news…
Meet 18-year-old Jacob Cox-Brown of Astoria, Oregon. Cox-Brown posed for the mugshot above after he was arrested for drunk driving.
Crazy thing is… he probably woulda got away with it if his love of Facebook hadn’t have interfered! The teen was located after he boasted about driving drunk on Facebook.
When will you people learn that it’s not appropriate to announce your crimes on Facebook and/or Twitter? *sigh*

Full story about Cox-Brown’s Facebook DUI arrest below…
According to local news channel KGW, two people anonymously tipped off officers via Facebook about the post.
Apparently two vehicles had been hit earlier that New Year’s morning.
At around 1 a.m. New Year’s morning, officers responded to a hit-and-run crash. A white-colored Scion had been sideswiped, leaving significant damage to the car.
Officer Matt Clausen, reportedly seized several pieces of tail light and bumper cover. A second vehicle parked in front of the car had damage, as well.
Later that day, Officer Riley received a private Facebook message from someone who wanted to report what Cox-Brown posted on Facebook – that he had been drinking, driving and involved in a hit-and-run.
Officers were dispatched to Cox-Brown’s house where they discovered a vehicle that had damage matching that of the victims’ cars from the early morning hit & run. They were also able to match pieces left behind at the scene of the crash to the damaged vehicle, which was registered to Cox-Brown.
Cox-Brown was then arrested and charged with two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver.
Deputy Chief Brad Johnston said the teen was not charged with drunken driving because the Facebook post is not sufficient evidence that he was intoxicated.
In a press release, the police wrote:
Astoria Police have an active social media presence. It was a private Facebook message to one of our officers that got this case moving, though.
When you post…on Facebook, you have to figure that it is not going to stay private long.
The moral of this story is… don’t post your crimes on Facebook! In other news, Facebook is still the Devil and ‘Big Brother” is always watching…
Are you surprised a Facebook “friend” turned him in?
Some teens can make some dumb and stupid choices but glad that this pos was caught and luckily no one was killed or hurt.
Like most people on Facebook, this fool done incriminated his own self so he should be in jail. Then got tha nerves to be lookin mad!! Boi stop! I just wanna know how much the police paying Facebook to help catch this criminals!!
Facebook should really only be used to promote your small business and share a few select and carefully edited vacation pics. That’s about it.
When you admit to crimes or tell everyone that you are making your godson a peanut butter and jelly sandwich then you have gone too far.
I’ve been on Facbook since ’04 and I can count the number of posts I’ve made on two hands. Keep is clean and simple. That’s it.
@hmmm: my thoughts exactly! To much explicit pics, to much cyber beef and waaaaaay to much of what they bout to do. I just cooked this, I just woke up, I’m tired, I can’t sleep……this list goes on and on and on!!! Like really!!
And that’s why I have to unfriendly those that do that madness including relatives. I don’t want to know what restaurant, store, state, etc, you’re at, just taking all that space up on my page. I have seriously thought about just getting off FB.
Typo: unfriend
I have a friend that post every meal she eats. All of which are unhealthy, then she post about how she cant loose weight or find a man. How about you not eat eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, pancakes and french fries for breakfast.
ppl dont understand technology is the devils tool its in the bible….be careful
@Hmm ..Ita. glad the guy was caught.
@LXL: tell me about it!

Why is it that blogs like SFTA and Sandra Rose have boring stories/news; They have limited stories and don’t write on the weekends; that’s worthwhile reading. WOW! You got to get out there and find interesting stories to write about people. DANG. I don’t understand. Get it together. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Sandra rose shit stay dry! If she aint hating on Obama she riding Tiny and TI. Then as much shade she throw, she have the nerve to ban prople for clowing what she call "friends of the blog"! Time to find a new source of information! There are plenty of sites that update on the daily tho & that includes Saturday and Sundays! I fuccs with the Atlien doe!
@Confused, I agree! I don’t read Sandra Rose but I think Michelle should hire sum interns or sumthin to post on weekends. I mean for those of us who work durin the week, it would be nice for us to read articles that AREN’T 4 & 5 days old on weekends but hey..its her website! (sigh)
When keepin it REAL goes wrong! This is like that white girl that robbed a bank & stole a car then posted a video on YT tellin on herself smh & got arrested right after she uploaded it! Can we ship these IDIOTS off to war? They CLEARLY don’t care about their life or freedom!
People are idiots. I keep telling certain people I know to stop posting their illegal smokable habits and gun possession on FB, but do they care hell no. I say "Big Brother is watching you" and most dont even get the 1984 reference. 1984 is upon us now.
