Woman's Facebook Update Lands Her in Trouble

Sometimes over-sharing on social media can get you into a lot of trouble. Many people can be very careless with social media status updates. In 2012, a Michigan woman named Colleen Cudney was busted for a DUI. As part of her court ruling, she was placed on probation. On the day after St. Patrick’s Day, she was required to report to her probation office for a random breathalyzer test. She passed the test and then celebrated the fantastic news on Facebook. WDIV Local 4 News reports is reporting that investigators claim she posted, “Buzz killer for me, I had to breatalyze this morning and I drank yesterday but I passed thank god lol my dumbass."  .. Cudney’s status update grabbed the attention of a local police official, who then notified the probation office about the post.  The probation officer then called her up and requested that she come in and take a urine test. She then hung up on the probation officer. Probation officials say that was a direct violation of her probation, which was set to end in a few weeks. Cudney is due to be back in court on April 1st for a probation hearing and faces as much as 12 weeks in jail.
