GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two viral posts lauding the good deeds of Winston-Salem policemen are false, the Winston-Salem Police Department said.
"While the Winston-Salem Police Department applauds the respective law enforcement officers and agencies for the good work, it is apparent the stories were altered to include Winston-Salem Police Department involvement," WSPD said in a release Monday morning.
Late last week, two posts from a Facebook page called "North Carolina Breaking News" went viral. Winston-Salem police said both stories actually happened in different states and years earlier.
