FORT MYERS, Fla. – Teens using the Internet are being policed by more than just police. A private investigating firm working across the country helped the Lee County Sheriff’s Office make an arrest here in Southwest Florida.The private investigators are out of California and Detective Chris Shoap says they were on MySpace working on another case.Detective Shoap says they found the page of a Southwest Florida teen who deputies say made some very serious threats. A page put together by a teen that goes by the user name, Bloody Bon3. A teen who is now charged with cyberstalking for using MySpace to threaten other people.”I’m so glad the private investigators found it and let us know about it,” says Detective Shoap.Shoap says the messages are gang related. Because of the tip, The sheriff’s office was able to interrupt a brawl scheduled to go down at a public library in Lehigh Acres.
“His intentions were definitely to make good on his threats, no doubt in my mind” said Shoap. Detective Shoap won’t elaborate on the threats made other than to say the teen wanted to fight.
We went and tracked the teen down, we’re not identifying the teen because he’s underage but he says he was simply retaliating.
“I don’t stalk people.” the teen said. “They told me they were going to kill my mom, I told them to come see me.”
The teen claims he asked the people in so many words (some derogatory words) to come and see him at the library.
“He didn’t show, I got arrested.” says the teen. Now he’s facing cyberstalking charges.
Detective Shoap says this investigation isn’t over. He says they’re working on more leads in the case. Detective Shoap says all of the teens involved have been in trouble with the law before.
