Woman turns herself in to get unflattering photo off police Facebook pageDon?t you just hate it when an unflattering photo of you ends up online?
So does Monica Hargrove, and she did what any of us might do: The 34-year-old called the person who had posted the offending image and asked that it be taken down.
But the person tagging her on Facebook wasn?t a friend. It was the Columbus police, who had a warrant for her arrest on an aggravated-robbery charge.
The division?s public-information team posted Hargrove?s mug shot on Sept. 10 on its Facebook page with a description of the charge: On Aug. 30, police said, she gave a friend a ride to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription and then robbed the friend.
Hargrove called police and said she wanted her picture taken off the page. The detective said sure, just come on down to headquarters. She did and was promptly locked up.
She since has been indicted on robbery, aggravated-robbery and kidnapping charges.
In the end, though, she did get her way: Her photo is gone from the Police Division?s Facebook page.
