What he said and whom he said it to on social media landed this man in jail, cops say

A 20-year-old Hurley man is in jail after what he said on social media, cops say.

Colby Alexander Tolbert was arrested by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Thursday.

Tolbert is held on charges of cyberstalking and retaliation against a public servant. He sent a threatening message to a former deputy’s wife, Capt. Randy Muffley said.

Tolbert’s message threatened bodily harm to the former deputy and his family, a release from the sheriff’s office said.

Judge T. Larry Wilson set Tolbert’s bail Friday at $7,500 per charge, totaling $15,000.

Tolbert was ordered not to contact the victims.
