Police arrest man who taunted them online, taunt him back
Posted February 25, 2016 6:00 am
OREM, Utah (AP) - After arresting a wanted man whose Facebook page included a post taunting a Utah police department, police taunted him right back.
Orem police Lt. Craig Martinez said they were notified of the post days ago that showed a man standing in front of a patrol car. The caption used a derogatory term for police and questioned why they were in his "'hood."
By Tuesday, 24-year-old Richard Ramirez was arrested for the misdemeanor assault case. He couldn't be reached for comment and it's unclear if he has an attorney.
Police posted a lengthy taunt back at the man, reclaiming Orem as their "hood" and using the hashtag #sorrynotstorry.
