Ohhhh this is classic.
Ryan Beauchamp was arrested Wednesday on a weapons possession charge. The Florida Atlantic University student had ammunition mailed to him at the Boca Raton campus for his 9 mm handgun, police said (great idea right?). Someone in the mail office notified police about a suspicious package. The police tracked it back to an ammunition supplier and contacted Beauchamp, FAU Police Chief Charles Lowe said.
"We checked Facebook and with a combination other things, we found he did posses a weapon," Lowe said.
Police were seeking a search warrant when Beauchamp gave them consent to search his room, where the gun was found, the chief said (sun-sentinel).
Couple things we can learn here. First off everyone in the South has a gun, so this shouldn't be shocking, but the main point I want to make here is that you really need to be smart about this whole Facebook thing. I have read more stories about kids getting busted for something, because they have pics up (or said something) on Facebook or MySpace.
So if you don't have a permit for your gun and you are trying to smuggle ammo onto your campus, at least be smart enough not to have pictures on the interest of you showing off your gun.
