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."

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?

In their defense, this kind of thing tends to happen when people stop thinking for themselves and rely on popular consensus.

is there a loophole somewhere that needs to be explored? Or did they have the guns prior to the felony conviction?

All it takes is a bill or two or three. This country is chest deep in guns of all kinds.

Never trust strangers. That is something most of us were taught by our parents or guardians at an early stage of our life, especially if the stranger says he is a sorcerer who can turn you invisible whilst you rob a bank!

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

How about the moral of the story is don't play with guns if you are not legally permitted to do so.

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.
