#7 - Eleanor Ashford and Sarah Canceri
A pair of 23-year-old lovers from Australia were accused of committing a series of
armed robberies across southwest Sydney on the night of March the 26th of 2021. Earlier on the
day of the alleged crime spree, the suspects, identified as Eleanor Ashford and Sarah Canceri,
had visited an indoor rock climbing center, where they’d reportedly exercised together.
At the conclusion of their workout, the couple posed for a photograph while still strapped into
their rock climbing harnesses. The picture was uploaded to Canceri’s Instagram account
and ultimately went viral online, but only because of the trouble that the women got
themselves into later that night. At about 11:45 pm, the police were called to a service station
on Heathcote Road in Moorebank, where 2 thieves armed with axes and knives had reportedly stolen
cash and cigarettes. Thirty minutes later, the authorities received reports of a second robbery
at a gas station in the same Sydney suburb. Then, in the early hours of the following morning,
a third instance of cash and cigarettes being stolen from a local service station
was reported to the police. Investigators were able to use surveillance footage taken from the
crime scenes to identify Ashford and Canceri as the perpetrators of the 3 robberies. They were
remanded into custody and scheduled to appear in Liverpool Local Court on armed robbery charges.
#6 - Shigeharu Shirai
A retired Japanese crime boss was arrested in January of 2018 after a picture of his yakuza
body tattoos went viral on social media. The suspect, named as Shigeharu Shirai,
was reportedly apprehended while shopping in the market town of Lopburi in central Thailand.
72-year-old Shirai had spent the previous 14 years on the run after fleeing his native country of
Japan in 2003. He’d subsequently gone to Thailand in order to hide from Japanese authorities,
who sought his arrest in connection to the shooting of a rival gang member.
Upon his arrival in Thailand, Shirai had married a local woman and transitioned into a “seemingly
peaceful” retirement from organized crime. The police were alerted to the man’s possible gang
ties after an individual had taken a picture of him with his intricate yakuza-related tattoos
on full display while he was playing a game of streetside checkers. The image was widely
circulated online, which led to it gaining the attention of Japanese law enforcement.
Thai authorities were then notified of Shirai’s criminal past, and he was consequently taken into
custody. He reportedly confessed to previously serving as the leader of the yakuza sub-gang
known as “Kodokai”. It was reported that Thai officials had ordered Shirai to be
extradited back to Japan, where he would finally stand trial for the deadly shooting.
#5 - Meera Mitun
In August of 2021, Indian model and actress Meera Mitun was accused of making casteist statements,
thereby violating seven provisions of the Indian Penal Code, as well as the Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribe Prevention of Atrocities Act. In the wake of the allegations, which Mitun denied,
she released a video challenging Chennai police to arrest her. Then, on August the 14th,
officers arrived at her residence to take her into custody after she’d failed to show up for
a police inquiry two days earlier. During the course of her arrest, Mitun recorded a video of
herself in hysterics, accusing the officers of harassment. The clip went viral online,
with many viewers mocking the entertainer for what they deemed to be an overreaction on her
part. Mitun was taken into custody until the conclusion of her judicial remand,
after which she was released on bail. However, in March of 2022, it was reported that she’d
absconded from her conditional release and was consequently arrested for a second time.
#4 - James Potok
A WestJet flight from Toronto, Canada to Montego Bay, Jamaica was forced to turn around mid-flight
in February of 2020 after a male passenger claimed to have been infected with COVID-19.
The man, an aspiring musician from Ontario named James Potok, had begun recording with his camera
shortly before standing up and loudly announcing to his fellow travelers that he’d contracted the
virus during a recent visit to China. According to a statement made by the Peel Regional Police, once
the flight crew was made aware of Potok’s claims, they diverted back to Pearson Airport in Toronto
“out of an abundance of caution”. The attendants also reportedly sequestered Potok in an isolated
space in accordance with protocols made in the event of an infectious disease on board a WestJet
aircraft. Upon arriving back in Toronto, Potok was tested for the coronavirus, at which point it
emerged that his claims of being infected had been entirely false. He was consequently arrested and
charged with mischief and breach of recognizance. In an interview with CBS News the following day,
Potok revealed that he’d filmed his mid-air stunt in an attempt to go viral online, noting that,
as an artist, “any publicity is good publicity”. He subsequently released an apology video,
which garnered thousands of views and an overwhelming amount of dislikes.
#3 - Alberto Baez-Mesinas
In a viral TikTok video uploaded in February of 2022, a man was caught groping a young woman
during a Super Bowl party at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. As was later detailed in
subsequent reports, the woman, named as Ariel Lyndsey, had angrily confronted the man following
the non-consensual contact while her friends tracked down hotel security. She posted the clip
to social media a few days after the incident to “raise awareness” about what had happened
to her and potentially aid the authorities in identifying the male assailant. The latter,
39-year-old Alberto Baez-Mesinas, reportedly fled the scene before security arrived at the room.
Palazzo Hotel officials subsequently used the TikTok video, which, upon being uploaded,
amassed more than 14 million views, to identify Baez-Mesinas, who was reported as being
an employee at the establishment. He was taken into custody, at which time he allegedly confessed
to reaching under Lyndsey’s skirt as she walked past him without her consent. Baez-Mesinas was
consequently arrested for open and gross lewdness and booked into the Clark County Detention Center.

A math teacher at Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas was filmed assaulting a student in her
geometry class on the morning of April the 8th of 2016. Cell phone footage of the altercation,
which went viral upon being posted online, showed 63-year-old Mary Hastings violently
slapping the unidentified youth 5 times before mocking him and calling him a derogatory name.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim had asked Hastings about a grade,
at which point she angrily swiped papers off of his desk and launched her attack. She was
immediately removed from the classroom, and shortly thereafter, was taken into police custody,
whereupon she was booked into the Jefferson County Jail on assault charges. In the wake
of the incident, Hastings was placed on paid administrative leave pending an official
investigation by Beaumont Independent School District police and administrators. Then,
11 days after the shocking video of the teacher’s attack surfaced on the internet,
she was terminated from her position, one she’d reportedly held for 3 years. According to an
article in the Beaumont Enterprise, the school district also created a disciplinary committee
aimed at “preventing the kind of disruptions that might spark similar incidents in the future”.
#1 - Steven Hayer
At about 7 am on June the 28th of 2020, surveillance cameras captured a fatal
altercation between 2 men outside a home in the 1400 block of West Lunt Avenue in Chicago,
Illinois. The video, which went viral in the wake of the incident, showed Steven Hayer, aged 26,
loitering on the sidewalk before suddenly pulling out a firearm and
shooting 36-year-old Angelo Pullum in the back of the head at point-blank range. Subsequent reports
on the matter indicated that the victim was killed instantly. A witness watched as Hayer allegedly
fled into a black Jeep with the gun still in his hands, and then came upon Pullum’s lifeless body
on the pavement. The following day, officers with the city’s police department were dispatched to
Hayer’s Chicago Housing Authority residence. The suspect reportedly ran when the police arrived,
eventually forcing his way into a nearby home, where he hid in a room on the second
floor. The occupants of the house, who didn’t know Hayer, allowed officers inside to arrest
him. Upon taking the man into custody, the police reportedly found, in his possession, a plastic bag
filled with illegal substances, as well as a backpack that contained his birth certificate,
other personal items, and a loaded handgun. Hayer, a thrice-convicted felon, was consequently charged
with first-degree murder, criminal trespass to a residence, and possessing a controlled substance.
Although the authorities didn’t reveal an explicit motive behind Pullum’s slaying,
it was later detailed how Hayer had had a personal relationship with the victim. Furthermore,
the 2 men had reportedly exchanged 12 phone calls in the hour leading up to the shooting,
indicating that there was likely some sort of tension present between them.
