Facebook Helps Prosecutors Charge Alleged Attempted Burglars

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Two people faced burglary charges on Wednesday after a search warrant led investigators to an incriminating Facebook message.

Kevin Stoll II and Meghan Welch allegedly were involved in a burglary, and investigators said that Welch sent a message to a friend saying, "That guy in the picture robbed a house, and I was in the car, so I got charged with burglary," 10TV's Maureen Kocot reported.

According to Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien, Facebook can be an invaluable tool for investigators.

"People just have a habit of talking too much too often in the wrong place," O'Brien said.

In September, police charged a woman with felonious assault after investigators said that she smashed a glass into a woman's face. 

The victim sued Courtney Tomlinson after attorneys said that she bragged on Facebook saying, "I cut my thumb bad on some glass and had to get a few stitches and sure enough, she was there, too, getting her face stitched up."
