SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah, Dec. 25, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Somewhere in Salt Lake County, a teen got an especially unwanted surprise this Christmas.
“How do you know if you’ve been naughty or nice this year,” a playful tweet from the Unified Police Department asked this holiday morning.
“Well, if you’re 15 and mom calls the police at 6:30 Christmas morning to turn you in on your warrants, that’s probably a hint.”
The tweet, shown in full below, ended with “#jailfortheholidays,” and shared no further details.
There’s a time and place for Twitter. This isn’t one of them. Calling her #cold for actually helping them, by not coddling her crime-committing teen. TOUGH LOVE. Don’t shame her. What a joke.
