Went looking for an article and it’s like only ifunny and twitter links. One even had the title “You can’t make this shit up”, like yes, in fact you can. I’ll edit the description to note that’s fake.
The entire "mugshot with headline describing crazy crime" is an entire genre of fake internet posts, which has flourished for at least a decade (probably more).
I am constantly surprised that people are even considering the notion that they could be true.

Has Texas not yet outlawed women having hobbies?
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 8 pts · 34d
Only if the hobby is getting abortions, I think.

It was funny the first time I saw this. Yesterday on the post you also saw. But you don't see me reposting.

Didn’t see it yesterday. 🤷♂️
Unless you mean the other place I posted this the same time
