Man snatches notebook over Facebook row
Faces criminal charges for trying to check his profile
A teen Facebook fiend has been arrested after he snatched a laptop from a man in a Starbucks. The victim reportedly told him he could not use the laptop to check his Facebook profile, after which the teen went ape and snatched it.
Corey Kinney, a 19-year-old resident of Bradenton, Florida, ran out of the coffee shop, only to be tackled by a couple of passers by in the parking lot, who held him until a mall security guard arrived at the scene.
The laptop was eventually returned to its rightful owner, while Kinney was charged with robbery by sudden snatching. Robbery is a felony, not a misdemeanor, and Kinney will probably have a lot of time to reflect on his actions and his Facebook addiction while in the custody of the great state of Florida.
