The Piqua Police Department said it was looking to identify a person who wrote on Facebook that they were coughing with a fever and spreading their illness in shopping areas.
But after the post caught the attention of police, he claimed in another Facebook post that it had been a joke and that he was not sick or even in Ohio.
"I'm sorry that it didn't look obvious that most of my posts were trolling. I haven't coughed on anything. I'm not even sick. I'm not even in the state of Ohio right now, I'm in New Jersey with my family."Anyone with information about who the writer of the Facebook post may be is urged to contact the department at 937-778-2027 or 937-615-TIPS.
