Southlake man arrested in DC attack based on Facebook evidence
And based on homophobic language during the attack, it's being treated as a hate crime.
Y'know, a simple poke would get you in less trouble,
According to CNN, Phillip Anderton Cooney of Southlake was arrested in connection with an assault at Georgetown University. He allegedly attacked a victim while shouting homophobic insults, causing cuts, bruises and a broken thumb.
The victim browsed Facebook and identified Cooley as his assailant. Because of the homophobic language, the assault is being prosecuted as a more serious hate crime with higher penalties.
Unsurprisingly, Cooney's profile appears to have been pulled from Facebook.
