Franklinton Police said at least one 17 YO Instagram user didn’t experience a social media outage yesterday.
Sgt. Trey Johnson didn’t experience an outage either, which led him to conducting a search warrant based on the IG user’s social media post showcasing a sizeable amount money and drugs. The IG user bragged that “I got drugs for days” while waving around a stack of cash and soliciting further drug sales. He stated, “Get at me” and that’s exactly what Sgt. Johnson did.
The 17 YO was already on probation for Aggravated Assault of a law enforcement officer. And Sgt. Johnson just happened to be that officer the 17 YO previously pulled a gun on.
For yesterday’s transgressions on Instagram, the charges include; Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl, Possession of Schedule IV Drugs, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and probation violation.
The drug money has been seized and will be submitted for forfeiture.
