Police arrest woman for Facebook 'poke'
A 36-year-old from Hendersonville, Tennessee has been arrested for using Facebook to violate a protection order.
When Shannon Jackson tried to attract someone's attention using the social networking website's "poke" tool, police deemed that she had broken a ruling that banned her from "telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner".
According to US newspaper The Tennessean, police have reportedly obtained screen grabs of the victim's Facebook page showing evidence of the poke.
Jackson now faces up to a year in prison and a fine of $2,500 if she is found guilty.
She is due to appear in court later this month.
