Dope of the Week: He just wants to be a star, I guess…

I could not find this story anywhere online. The Laconia Daily Sun is reporting in today’s edition that
"A convicted robbery getaway driver is in trouble for allegedly showing off weapons on MySpace.com and bragging on the social networking site about drinking and using drugs, prosecutors say."
It further notes that Brice Chase, 19, of Ossipee, NH posted interesting tidbits online like his drug preferences and pictures of his drug paraphernalia along with images of himself with a gun and swords.
.
This violates the terms of his probation and he could go back to jail. I wonder what it might have taken to catch a thug like this in the absence of these new technologies like MySpace and Facebook that have become so much of a part of everyone’s lives, good and bad? Would it have taken another criminal act, perhaps deadly, before he would have been picked up and put back where he obviously belongs?
