Maybe he checked in from jail and tagged himself in his own mug shot too. An Oregon teen was arrested after he posted about driving drunk on New Year’s Day. Police had been investigating a mysterious hit-and-run in Astoria, Ore., when they were tipped off to a Facebook post by 18-year-old Jacob Cox-Brown, which read, “Drivin drunk … classic ;) but to whoever’s vehicle I hit I am sorry :p."

Cox-Brown has been charged with two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver.
