I have no real understanding of what good the Facebook "Poke" is, but it's there. When you "poke" someone the only result is they are informed of it when they log-on next. And for a Hendersonville, TN woman, a poke got her thrown into the pokey.
By poking someone, Shannon D. Jackson, 36, violated the terms an the order of protection, which stipulated “no telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner.” Oops.
Hendersonville Police made screenshots of the poke as evidence. Jackson's violation of the order of protection is a Class A misdemeanor, which can be be punished with up to 11 months, 29 days in jail as well as a possible fine of up to $2,500.
Jackson is scheduled to appear in Sumner County General Sessions Court in Gallatin on Oct. 28th.
