Man Tags Himself In Facebook Pictures Of Him Rioting From A Year Ago Is Promptly Arrested


Next time you're tagging yourself on Facebook photos, make sure these aren't proof of anything illegal that you may have been a part of! Robert Darragh - a 21-year-old from Belfast - was recently arrested for tagging himself on Facebook in photos that showed him participating in a riot that happened over a year ago between the nationalists and unionists during the Loyalist march in Northern Ireland last year. 29 police officers were left injured in a clash that saw the use of bricks, bottles and other missiles.



According to Belfast Live, Robert had managed to avoid detection on CCTV camera by covering his face. However, it took one misstep on Robert's part that helped the police nab him for his participating in the riot.

Sorting through his photos on Facebook led the police to eventually find evidence against Robert, as he had tagged himself in pictures from the riot. The tags led the police to his Facebook profile which helped the officers get further details on him.

Robert has now been awarded a two-year prison sentence.
