The Twitter account was created with the name and photo of Dr. Jubal Yennie, director of the Sullivan County school district. The account has since been deleted but the tweets sent in Yennie's name were reported to be of an embarrassing nature and not appropriate for a school administrator. Why would an 18 year old do something like that?
The Smoking Gun reports "Yennie contacted sheriff's deputies last Friday to report the phony Twitter account. After investigators linked Quesenberry to the account, the teen reportedly confessed to opening it. Quesenberry was booked today by sheriff's deputies, and is due to appear tomorrow in General Sessions court."
Grab your/companies name/products/services people. Sites like Knowem.com will do this for free or for a small fee. The worst thing you can do is nothing. There are millions of stupid 18 year olds out there to make you look stupid-er.
