Fox13 has a report on three people arrested in Lakeland, Florida for allegedly selling illegal alcohol via Facebook.
An anonymous tip alerted police which resulted in an undercover sting.
During the sting, one of the suspect’s girlfriend Christie Comkowycz, allegedly offered to sell officers 12 pints of 192-proof alcohol for $240.
Comkowycz said this during the sting:
“are you a cop? Cause I don’t want to go to jail.”
Once the exchange of money for goods took place, officers arrested Comkowycz and her boyfriend Alton Trowell. Officers arrested a third suspect Dalton Ridlon on unrelated drug charges the night before.
Of course this could only happen in Florida and makes me wonder about the patrons that bought alcohol from Facebook instead of a liquor store.
