Words typed on social media can sometimes get you in hot water and a local man found this out as he eluded to the murder of the United Healthcare chief executive officer in New York City when referencing a Bowie official.
On Dec. 10, Bowie Police Officer Michael Fonner was dispatched to Bowie City Hall to speak with City Manager Bert Cunningham in reference to a Facebook comment that appeared to be directed to him. He explained there was a post on Dec. 9 around 5 p.m. made by a user named Evan Taylor on the Bowie Texas Citizens Facebook page.
Fonner’s incident report states Taylor’s comment was in a series of posts related to the city council meeting stating “We should invite that guy who paid a visit to the health insurance CEO.” The officer was given screen shots.
After doing some research Fonner was able to find contact information on Taylor and called him. The report states Fonner recommended Taylor be careful with what he posts because it may be misconceived. No further incident occurred.
Police Chief Guy Green said the man indicated he had not meant any direct threat to anyone. This is an information report with no criminal offense made.
