  • Mugshot Mania ~ Facebook Post About Drunk Driving Lands Teen In Jail…

    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.

    Facebook+dui+POSTWhen 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?

      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.

        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.

      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.

      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.
