Facebook birthday message gets local man arrested
A 79-year-old Chatham man is finding out the hard way that when you are banned from using electronic devices, that means no Facebook birthday messages.
Chatham-Kent police said their investigation started when they got a call about a bail violation just after 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Police said they later learned that a local 79-year-old man who was bound by bail conditions not to possess or use electronic devices had posted a birthday message on Facebook about his victim.
As a result, the accused was arrested and taken back to police headquarters. He was later released with conditions and a future court date.
