Cops: Prostitutes arrested after bragging about guns on social media
Two women who were arrested in a January prostitution sting were arrested Monday after bragging about guns on their social media accounts, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Brittany Dodd, 25, of Lakeland and Maylee Rossi, 27, of Davenport posted photos of themselves in possession of large guns on their Facebook accounts, which is a violation of their convicted felon status.
Polk deputies saw the photos and notified the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms who then booked the pair into the Polk County Jail. The U.S. Marshals Service currently has custody of the pair. The weapons were recovered.
"Our investigations don't stop once we put bad guys, or girls, in jail," Sheriff Grady Judd said. "As you can see, our detectives are very diligent in their efforts to ensure that when people don't learn their lessons after the first time of being arrested, they are re-arrested and charged accordingly - especially those who are already convicted felons."

(14,656 posts)what do you know? Aha!!! Previous felons! Luck. Then the
story is spun into following up on post convict life. What
a joke. However, when will people learn that Facebook is
not a confessional?

(12,504 posts)is there a loophole somewhere that needs to be explored? Or did they have the guns prior to the felony conviction?

Unfortunately, for one man in Iran, he made the mistake of trusting a fake sorcerer who convinced him that he was invisible and could rob a bank safely. The man explained to the court that he had paid five million rials (just under £290) to a wizard imposter, who in return gave him a set of spells to tie to his arm. The fake sorcerer explained to him that the spells would make him invisible, and that he could then rob banks all he wanted

this is why we need a total ban on guns and ammo. Human beings cannot be trusted with them no human being can trusted with them.
