Two Texans Arrested For Publishing Cop's Facebook Photo

"Retaliation" carries up to ten years in the slammer

|


A Texas woman who came across a Facebook photo of an undercover cop was arrested after she posted the photo on her own Facebook page.

Melissa Walthall was charged with retaliation, a felony charge that can land her in prison for ten years.

Her friend, Bobby Stedham, who found the original photo, then turned it into a flyer, which he intended to post in public identifying the officer as an undercover cop, was also arrested for retaliation.
