People use Facebook to spread news about job promotions, marriages and pregnancies, but one Oregon teen took sharing to a new level by boasting about his drunk driving.
Jacob Cox-Brown, 18, posted a status update that exposed his New Year's Day crime.
Earlier that day, at around 1 a.m., police in Astoria, Ore. found evidence that two cars had been in a collision, according to local reports. Later on, police received a private message from one of Cox-Brown's Facebook friends that "got this case moving," the Astoria Police Department said in a release. Officers then went to Cox-Brown's house, and found a vehicle that matched the damage inflicted during the early-morning crash.
"Astoria Police have an active social media presence," the release said. "When you post ... on Facebook, you have to figure that it is not going to stay private long."
Cox-Brown was arrested, and charged with two counts of "Failing to Perform the Duties of a Driver." Check out the video, above, for more.
