Police in New York state said a man on parole was arrested after a Facebook posting depicted him illegally shooting a gun.

Livingston County sheriff's deputies said they received a tip from someone who saw the Facebook video of Kevin Mosher, 26, shooting the gun despite the conditions of his parole from two felony convictions forbidding him from possessing any firearms, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported Tuesday.

Mosher was charged with misdemeanor fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He will appear in Caledonia Town Court at a later date, investigators said.
