A 22-year-old Texas based man has been proven innocent of a crime he did not commit after a selfie saved him
It was gathered that the young man identified as Christopher Precopia was set up by his ex lover and could have spent 99 years of his life behind bars sae for the selfie he took on the night he was alleged to hae committed the crime
Christopher Precopia was in shock when the police showed up unannounced at his place of work on September 2017 to arrest him over a case of burglary with the intent to commit other crimes
He was immediately taken to Williamstown County Jail and released only after his family posted a $150,000 bond
Precopia later found out his ex-girlfriend from high school had gone to the cops with a fabricated tale alleging that Precopia broke into her home in Temple and sliced an X into her chest with a box cutter because she had a rocky relationship with him several years earlier.
Upon inestigation, it was discovered that the night of the alleged attack, Precopia was actually 65 miles away at a hotel in Austin with his mom, Erin Precopia.
Luckily, he decided to take a selfie of himself with his family that evening, which he posted on social media.
Reacting to the incident, Erin Precopia said;
“By the grace of God, the accuser said it happened on the day when I can say totally, 100%, where he was at,”
Police were forced to finally dropped the charges against him nine months after his arrest, when his lawyer, Rick Flores, took the alibi evidence to Bell County prosecutors
