Tempe Police arrest man over social media pranks | FOX 10 Phoenix

Police in the East Valley are accusing a 21-year-old man of being involved in a number of social media pranks that impacted several businesses.

“Between the months of March and July, businesses began reporting instances of a group of men coming into their stores dressed as employees. These men began seriously disrupting their businesses by entering employee-only areas and refusing to leave when asked,” read a portion of a statement released by Tempe Police on July 24. “One man was identified as the ‘leader’ of the group, instructed the others to begin ‘working.'”

Tempe Police identified the person they arrested as 21-year-old Heston Cobb, and he is accused of multiple crimes.
