Viral Screenshot from Grindr Led to Arrest
A man in his mid-twenties has been arrested by police in Ohio after he allegedly used the gay dating app Grindr to make a threat to kill LGBT people, WTTE reports.
“The suspect told another user he was going to kill him and ’85 faggots at a gay club.'” Columbus Police said on their Facebook page. “The victim posted screenshots of the threat on Facebook causing it to go viral.”
Police then tracked down and arrested the man they identify as “27-year-old Me’Shach Israel-Miller.”
Ohio’s WHIO TV 7 in 2014 reported that a “23-year-old Dayton man is in Montgomery County Jail today after he allegedly pulled a gun during an altercation on an RTA bus.”
“Me’Shach Israel-Miller is charged with two felonies for carrying concealed weapon and having weapons under disability. He has three prior felony convictions, according to a Dayton police report,” the report states.
It adds that “Miller is accused of pulling the gun, and then dropping it as the two men fought. The other man allegedly picked it up and hit him with it.”
It is not known if the 2014 article refers the the man police arrested Tuesday night.
