Man Creates Police Parody on Facebook, Faces Charges

A 27-year-old Parma, Ohio, man faces possible criminal charges that accuse him of creating a parody Facebook account that mimicked the Parma Police Department's official page. The page contained what Parma police considered "derogatory" and "inflammatory" information that appeared as though it was coming directly from department officials, Lt. Kevin Riley said.
