British Teenager Arrested For Tweet
The seventeen year old boy was arrested after mocking British diver Tom Daley after his disappointing Olympic performance.
LONDON - (AP) -- Police say a man has been arrested in connection to Twitter postings directed at British Olympic diver Tom Daley.
Daley's father died of brain cancer a year ago and the 18-year-old Olympian had hoped win a medal "for myself and my dad." But he finished fourth on Monday in the 10-meter synchronized platform with teammate Pete Waterfield.
Afterward, a Twitter user sent him several negative messages, including: "You let your dad down i hope you know that."
