Selfie lands Florida crowbar attacker in jail

VIERA, Fla. --A Florida woman awaiting sentencing for her part in a vicious crowbar attack has been ordered back to jail because of a photo her sister posted online,reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

The snapshot shows Jessie Umberger and her sister Amber smiling into a mirror, but a Florida judge ruled yesterday that it violated the conditions of Umberger's release from jail. The 19-year-old and two co-defendants -- Rebecca Gotay and Dylan Thomas -- pleaded guilty to a February 2015 attack that left teen Daniel Vukovich fighting for his life. Umberger and Gotay pleaded guilty to aggravated battery while Thomas pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree attempted murder.

Vukovich, who had allegedly stolen marijuana from Thomas, has recovered.

Umberger was released from jail pending sentencing in July, but one of the conditions of her release was that she could not use smart phones or other computing devices. Prosecutors had said she and the other defendants used social media before and after the attack, boasting of their retribution against Vukovich.

Umberger's young sister, Amber, testified Monday that she was the one who posted the photo that was not taken on a smartphone but rather on an iPod Touch -- a device used mainly to store photos and music but that can also connect to the Internet over WiFi. The photo of the two girls was posted on social media for National Sibling Day.

Circuit Judge James Earp cited the photo Monday when he revoked Umberger's bond and sent her to the county jail until early July, when she will be sentenced.
