Here's what I found on Google:

LaShawn Pettus-Brown is described as follows:

Black male
6'7" tall
205 pounds
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown

Can't believe he told her his real name!

She should get a reward for helping to catch the crook.

I wonder what happens if I google myself?

I just googled my name and got five pages -- a couple of the hits were actually me. I have a pretty unusual name. I'm not aware of anyone famous with my last name.

I just googled myself and found out that I am a newscaster in Ohio.

That is really interesting, cuz I ain't never been to Ohio.

(It feels kinda weird to know that there is another me out there)

If someone told you their name was "LaShawn Pettus-Brown", would you assume it was real?
