SAN JOSE — An attempt at Twitter humor by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office linking Valentine’s Day to putting people in jail was met with social-media backlash Tuesday evening, leading the office to take down the offending tweet and apologize.
Tuesday morning, the agency posted a tweet with a photo of three of its records division employees holding heart-shaped decorations and the caption, “Didn’t get a last minute gift for your significant other and have an outstanding warrant? Say no more, stop by our Records Division for a quick warrant check and a free lift to the Main Jail!”
The caption was capped off with a heart emoji.
