Student Googles Himself, Finds He's Accused of Murder

Posted by samzenpus on from the be-careful-what-you-search-for dept.

University of Florida student Zachary Garcia was more than a little surprised to find out he was wanted for murder after Googling his name. It turns out the police were looking for a different man but had mistakenly used Garcia's photo. From the article: "Investigators originally released a driver's license photo of Zachary Garcia — spelled with an 'A' — but it was Zachery Garcia — spelled with an 'E'— who was charged in connection with the crime."

    So not only are Floridians unable to count votes we now find that they also can't spell even on a wanted poster.
