Ex-Con Shares Gun Selfie on Facebook, Gets Another 15 Years in Jail
Sharing a photo on Facebook usually doesn’t result in you getting 15 years in jail. That is, unless the photo is a gun selfie and you’re a convicted felon.
When police stumbled across the photo on Facebook while investigating Farrad for suspected illicit conduct, they obtained a warrant to search through all his Facebook photos. Other photos showed a number of other weapons.
Farrad was arrested and convicted, and yesterday a federal judge sentenced him to 188 months, or 15.67 years in prison. We’re guessing this was a Facebook photo that Farrad wishes he never shared.
