Folsom Telegraph

Tyler Trosin, 18, of Folsom arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence at 3:20 a.m. in the 1300 block of Riley Street. Booked into Sacramento County Jail.

Maybe he should have committed to Oregon instead of Oregon State.

That sucks......I hope it doesn't affect his future, but it probably will. Dumb dumb dumb decisions at an early age do have severe ramifications when you're talking scholarships and sports contracts. Dang.

Even dumber is he lists partying on his Facebook page under activities and interests.

I don't get the Oregon vs Oregon St. comment...

OSU is more known for, shall we say, "thug-ish" style of football and recruiting players with a "troubled" past.

Interesting that you spent the time looking into this.....?

Oregon doesn't exaclty have a short list of players arrested either. Two players just this offseason, then there was Masoli and James last year. The list goes on and on. Pick your poison, he should fit in just fine.

Cops, employers, parents and community members frequently go to Facebook to see who they are dealing with, talking to, potentially hiring, or who may be dating their daughters.

People need to realize that what they put on the web can and often will be used against them.

There have been many cases where people were arrested, denied any involvement, only to have their Facebook profiles tell a different story. For example:

A guy was a suspect in a shooting in San Francisco. He was discussing the incident with his friends on Facebook, and he did not have it set to 'private'. Everyone could read what they were saying, and he had photos of himself and his homies posing with guns. Not smart.

In another case, a relative of mine was accused of a gang related crime. He of course denied being involved in any gangs. One only needed to look at his Facebook to see pictures of him dressed all in red, or showing off his gang tattoos, or him and his buddies throwing up gang signs. His lawyer told him to get rid of it, and he did.

His sister had a very similar profile and her mom asked her to take that stuff off of there. She replied, 'Yeah, right. Like the cops are checking Facebook!'

If this young man goes to court and alleges that he doesn't usually drink, or this was his first time, the prosecutor need only ask why he lists 'partying' as his favorite activity.

I have heard football plyaers, especially the good ones are a little on the wild side, maybe from the half time speeches by the coach. its too bad the arresting officer was not a folsom high football fan who could have called the coach. I have heard players are sometimes more afraid of the coach than the police.

he should have known he was in the danger zone. that part of town around bar time has more cops lurking than a major crime scene.

I agree with your caution about Facebook and the whole issue of public/private messaging, consequences ,etc.

I know Tyler. He and my son were classmates and played together on the FHS team and will both be going on to college this yr, and playing football at their respective schools (along with perhaps a dozen other young men from this yrs graduating class/championship team.) I'm curious which of the situations you referenced at the beginning of your post do you think applies to "the Professor" and Tyler? Apart from TP being a "community member", I am quite certain TP is none of the others. I am also reasonably certain that Tyler is not "talking to" TP, "dealing with" TP, or "dating (TPs) daughter". Since Tyler has already left for school, I'm certain he is not looking for a job from TP.

So once again I opine, it is interesting that The Professor took the time to look up Tyler's Facebook page. Why would s/he do so? What was s/he trying to accomplish? It strikes me as just a tad bit, oh, how shalI say it...... incendiary. Just wondering.....

[Rich_T]

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. He was probably driving back from a local bar or party, and was stopped, and failed the DUI check in the wee hours, despite thinking he was OK to drive. Happens all the time, unfortunately. I don't condone it, but I also don't assume the worst about him or his future.

He hates anyone in sports programs and he is a poo stirrer

I agree it's creepy that he took the time to stalk the kid and read and post about his Facebook page

Didn't want to say it, but I'm glad someone else noticed.

The kid should not get special treatment because he is a football player. That's how so many kids get in and stay in trouble, by people letting them slide for being someone's kid, or being on the team. We've all known kids who were given special treatment when they did wrong and it doesn't set well.

I don't find it the least bit odd, unusual, or creepy. I think in today's world, it's normal and to be expected.

It only takes seconds. I just did a web search on him, and there are quite a few links to pages featuring info about him. If someone looks me up, I don't find it odd at all.
