Zachary Garcia, University of Florida Student and Publix grocery store employee, googled himself to discover his picture being circulated by the Polk County Sheriff as a main suspect in a September murder case. The Sheriff department made a mistake, the man they are looking for is Zachery Garcia- with an E. The innocent college student had this to say:

“I was just very shocked to find my picture and the article saying that I was convicted of a felony murder charge,” he said, “and I was just very shocked and angry that someone put my name up there and said I did something I didn’t do.”

“Everybody makes mistakes,” Garcia added. “I work at Publix and I might get somebody’s sub (order) wrong. But for somebody to get (the photo of a suspect) wrong…it’s not a sandwich, it’s somebody’s life you’re playing with.”

Another terrific reason to google yourself as much as possible. TC mark
