MYRTLE CREEK, Ore. — After a kegger in honor of his birthday, a 17-year-old teenager posted photos a partygoer took on MySpace.com, say Oregon police.

Whoops.

Tipped to the public evidence, Myrtle Creek looked into the popular Internet site and identified everybody in the photos, arresting three adults on suspicion of furnishing alcohol to minors and citing nine minors.

Adults living at a house had bought a keg for their son's birthday party, Chief Don Brown said.

"They were partying with the kids," he told the Roseburg News-Review.

Brown said he was surprised by the potentially incriminating evidence he found when he took a brief cruise of the Web site, which advises users: "Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know."

"It's amazing the stuff you can get off of MySpace," Brown said. "You learn a lot about your kids and the community."
