&gt; Update (~4pm ET): Mid-afternoon on Friday, August 7, the Essex County Prosecutor&#x27;s Office dropped its cyber harassment charges against all five defendants, the Asbury Park Press reports. These charges stemmed from an incident involving a Tweet attempting to identify a New Jersey police officer. Our original story on the situation appears unchanged below.<p>Sometimes a little publicity is all the defense you need.

&quot;If anyone knows who this bitch is throw his info under this tweet.&quot; - it&#x27;s not just &quot;tweeting a cop&#x27;s photo&quot;

I hope they get good lawyers and tell the prosecutors to pound sand. What a sick joke.
