Bingo! :Thmbsup:

I'm guessing the local police were under pressure to "do something" about underage drinking in their jurisdiction, and one enterprising officer came up with the idea of using Facebook to identify someone to serve as an example.

I'm also sure that (as you noted) there were additional factors at play in this case. The entire thing smacks of "payback" doesn't it? ;D
