A Texas man who posted on Facebook that he paid someone sick with Covid-19 to intentionally spread the virus at San Antonio grocery stores by licking items was sentenced Monday to just over a year in prison.
Christopher Charles Perez, who also goes by the last name Robbins, was found guilty by a federal jury of two counts of making false hoaxes related to biological weapons, the Justice Department said in a statement.
According to court documents, Perez posted: "My homeboys cousin has covid19 and has licked every thing for past 2 days cause we paid him too [sic]. Big difference is we told him not to be these f------ idiots who record and post online. . .YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!"
A screenshot of the post was sent April 5, 2020, to the Southwest Texas Fusion Center, which then contacted the FBI bureau in San Antonio.
Perez, 40, told investigators that the post was a hoax. He said he wrote it because he thought too many people were still out grocery shopping and "was trying to scare people from the stores in order to stop them from spreading the virus to keep people safe," court documents state. He added that he did not know anyone who had the coronavirus, according to the documents.

On the radio yesterday they discussed how Democrats thought that the likelihood of dying if you get COVID is around 50 percent. Outside of the 60+ age range, the chance of surviving is generally much higher than 99.5 percent
He’s headed for a year of giving some lickings....
It’s a very goofy lie, but it presses several red hot panic buttons. For those already inclined to awaken clutching their pearls, this would be something to worry about and pass on to a friend. Similar to an old method called a Chain Letter.
You read this crazy missive and it’s your duty to pass it on to 10 of your closest personal friends.
Do you remember the urban legend that, if you flashed your lights at a car whose lights were off, they would do something REALLY BAD to you?
Texas man trying to steal Florida man’s thunder.
Uhh...That particular Urban Legend has turned out to be true.
I stopped helpfully flashing my lights about 15 years ago.
Too many insecure big babies who can’t handle being told they are doing something wrong.
we still do it when we see cops in their little hidie spots, to let cars goign the other way know there is a speed trap ahead-
Same here.
Meanwhile those involved in violent crimes are set free in most major American cities. Insanity.
But wait...they amid the Coof IS a biological weapon, finally?
*admit
I would interpret a “hoax” post like that as Internet sarcasm.
The Swamp wants to punish speech in this case as an example to intimidate all of us.
The Swamp is outlawing criticism, skepticism, political opposition and mild Internet sarcasm.
Did NBC just tell us that the Justice Department said Covid-19 is a biological weapon?
That's when I stopped reading. Idiot.
No, but if you spread the virus to harm others, you are using it as a bio weapon.
What exactly is a “false hoax”? Since a hoax is akin to a lie, then a false hoax must be the truth, no?
Anyway, recall those viral videos from not too long ago, where people opened ice cream tubs, liked the top, and then put them back in the freezer. That was real.
*licked, not liked, darn it.
A lot of crazy people on the loose remember the guy with aids licking the door knobs in the WH when Bush took office.
Got to get more happy farms back open.
“Too many insecure big babies who can’t handle being told they are doing something wrong.”
The way I heard it, this was part of a gang initiation (you know who), and how they randomly selected their victim. Don’t know how true it was.
A year in federal prison probably means minimum security and is fairly easy time to serve. And since it’s slightly over a year, he’ll build good time for an early release.
It’s not like ending up in Parchman or Angola or even Huntsville.
