Facebook Postings Lead to Two Arrests

Video tape of teenage boy driving 120 miles per hour was posted on Facebook

Two Newtown teenagers are in trouble for alleged actions on their Facebook online social networking pages.
    
In the first case, 18-year-old Ian Guilfoil is charged with three felony counts of risk of injury to a minor, plus misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

Police said passengers in his car videotaped a trip in which Guilfoil allegedly drove recklessly, including reaching 120 miles per hour on Interstate 84. A parent called police after seeing the video posted on Facebook.com.

Guilfoil's attorney said he regrets the incident and is seeking probation.

In an unrelated incident, a 15-year-old Newtown girl was charged Monday with harassment for allegedly threatening a fellow student using Facebook.

Her name was not released because of her age.
