Via ABC News:

The Oregon teen who was arrested after he posted a ‘Drivin drunk’ status update on his Facebook page New Year’s Day says it was all a misunderstanding. Jacob Cox-Brown, 18, of Astoria, Ore., about 100 miles west of Portland, was with friends when, police say, he posted the status update on his Facebook page: “Drivin drunk… classsic  but to whoever’s vehicle i hit i am sorry.  ”

In an interview with ABC affiliate KATU-TV in Portland, Cox-Brown says the post was meant as a joke. But his friends who spotted the update didn’t see the humor behind it. Instead, one friend sent a private message to an Astoria police officer’s personal Facebook account while another friend called police Sgt. Brian Aydt.

“When you post ‘Drivin drunk… classsic  but to whoever’s vehicle i hit i am sorry.  ’ on Facebook, you have to figure that it is not going to stay private long,” Brad Johnston, Astoria deputy chief of police, said in a news release. “Astoria Police have an active social media presence.” Johnston told ABCNews.com that Cox-Brown’s friend sent the Facebook message to officer Nicole Riley’s personal Facebook account.
