Another selfie-loving, dumb criminal just fell victim to the cloud
EL CERRITO, CALIFORNIA — Tasja Dowell is the latest in a string of foolish, selfie-loving lawbreakers whose love of self-portraits has led to their undoing.
Police in El Cerrito, California are on the hunt for the 18-year-old who they say viciously attacked a high school student in early November, according to a report by The Smoking Gun.
Dowell allegedly approached a student at El Cerrito High School on November 5 and demanded both the girl's phone and backpack.
When the girl refused, Dowell dealt her several blows to the head and then dragged the unconscious student on the ground by her backpack before eventually fleeing.
Authorities initially had trouble identifying the suspect. That is, at least until Dowell snapped a few glamor shots on the stolen device just a few days after the attack, which hospitalized the young victim.
The photos made their way to the girl's iCloud account and once she informed police, Dowell found her own ugly mug plastered all over social media and was identified within hours.
A warrant's since been issued for Dowell's arrest on charges of robbery and child abuse.
