Probation + beer + MySpace = Jail:
More criminal geniuses…
Monticello – Guess what? Probation officers go online, too. So if you’re on probation, it’s better that you don’t post pictures of yourself drinking beer on your MySpace page. Doing just that got two Sullivan County men thrown in jail today.
One rule of probation: You can’t drink beer.
But probationers Alexander Berson, 21, and Martin Vogler Jr., 20, posted pictures of themselves on MySpace doing just that, probation officers told Judge Frank LaBuda in Sullivan County Court.
Berson posted a shot of himself holding a plastic cup of amber liquid, captioned “got real f’d up on New Year’s.” He admitted to drinking, his P.O. said. Berson is on probation for felony reckless endangerment. This would be his second violation.
Vogler posted a shot of himself with beer bottles, said District Attorney Steve Lungen. The nature of Vogler’s original felony conviction wasn’t available.
LaBuda sent both men to jail without bail, pending hearings on the probation violations.
I was unable to find either of their MySpaces. But congratulations Cliff and Norm. You just won the Red Foreman Dumbass Award.
