Charged With 142 Felony Counts After Cop Sees His Instagram Page


Recommended Posts

 

A sheriff in Palm Beach County, Fla., recently came across the Instagram page of Dupree Johnson, 19.

 

Noting that Johnson had a rap sheet that included grand theft, burglary, and felony possession of a firearm, the deputy decided to look more closely at the pictures.

 

They weren't your typical Instagram food photos -- unless you're a person who eats lead.

 

Authorities quickly issued a search warrant for Johnson's home in Lake Worth, Fla.

 

Deputies not only discovered a Glock underneath his bedspread and a stolen -- and loaded -- Tec-9 9mm pistol, but also $250,000 worth of stolen jewelry, electronics and and firearms, Miami New Times reported.

 

Investigators believe that Johnson may have been one of several people responsible for as many as 40 burglaries in 55-and-older communities in Boynton Beach, Fla., according to CBS12.com.

 

By the time officials were done cataloguing Johnson's stash, they had charged him with 142 felony counts of being in possession of a weapon or ammo, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

 

WPBF-TV reports that when investigators were filling out the arrest report, they asked Johnson for his occupation and he allegedly replied: "Thief."

 

Johnson is behind bars in lieu of $60,000 bail and his Instagram page "Duce22ceritfied" is no longer working.

On a different but related note:

My girlfriend's grandmother is living in a 55+ community and was robbed in Boynton about a year ago while she was home. He was caught soon after trying get away on his bicycle with her freaking TV. Last month he was charged/jailed.

One more reason why crime doesn't pay. Thief for an occupation. Classic. He would do well in Grand Theft Auto or an MMORPG.

it's a shame nobody killed him in self-defense, now he'll be in prison living off of the very people he robbed.

 

just put a bullet in his head and forget about it.

I'm surprised he didn't get shot or killed during any robberies; I know several people over 55 that are almost too prepared to take down home intruders.

Yes, because as a thief he clearly deserves to die... /s
