Jenkins Police Chief Allen Bormes told CBS Cleveland that 20-year-old Michael Baker had posted the picture last Friday.
“It was then forwarded to one of our officers … and it went from there,” he added.
According to CBS affiliate WYMT, Baker’s girlfriend, Joann Sandelin, snapped the photo. The couple had intended for it to be a joke. “We was just standing there and thought it would be funny to take a picture and then post it on Facebook,” Baker told the station.
The couple was initially apologetic for their actions.
