Gives her two-day jail sentence for contempt when she does not comply

A woman was jailed after ignoring a judge's order to delete her Facebook account after comments she made on the site about her own reckless driving prompted the order.

According to Louisville, Ky., NBC affiliate WAVE, victims of a hit-and-run car accident, in which Paula Asher was allegedly at fault, were so upset by her post that the court had to step in. "My dumb (expletive) got a dui and I hit a car…lol," Asher wrote on her Facebook profile soon after the incident took place.
