'Going to Jail' - Joliet Man Posts on Facebook During His Arrest

The Joliet man conceded that he "f---d up."

JOLIET, IL — A Joliet man arrested with his wife on drug charges Thursday night apparently had time to share the bad news with his Facebook friends as he was taken into custody.

“Going to jail,” Nicholas Keto, 19, posted on his Facebook page about midnight.

Keto did in fact go to jail, but before he was carted off, he had the chance to post once more, writing, “I f---d up they taking my fone.”

The post about how he “f---d up” garnered five likes.

Keto and his 19-year-old wife, Becca Keto, were both arrested for allegedly possessing crack and marijuana. Becca Keto was also wanted for missing a December court hearing on whether her probation would be revoked.

Becca Keto was placed on probation after she pleaded guilty in October 2013 to beating a man with a baseball bat and robbing him of his casino winnings.

Nicholas Keto’s post about how he was headed to jail was shared once and liked 13 times. A comment posted by April Keto, who said she is Nicholas Keto’s mother, asked why he simply “didn’t eat that s--t” and reminded him that “mommy been telling you stay away from your wife.”
