FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - Our Verify team is looking at a viral Instagram post showing a local constable’s cruiser hit up by thieves.
The photo shows the ghost-marked SUV up on cinder blocks with the wheels gone.
Fort Bend County Precinct 2 Constable’s Chief Deputy Rodney Pentecost said he had seen the photo, and while it’s convincing, it appears to be an April Fool’s Day prank.
One giveaway: There is some blurring near the wheel wells, and the lighting isn’t quite right on the cinder blocks.
So we can verify: This photo is fake.
