Police force allows comments and "likes" on Facebook page about Andy Coulson arrest Strathclyde Police Facebook Page After announcing Mr Coulson's arrest and charge, the force said a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal which will decide whether he is to face court proceedings. The former News of the World editor was detained in London on Wednesday morning by Strathclyde Police and arrived at Govan Police Station in the south side of Glasgow later that afternoon. The 44-year-old gave evidence in Sheridan's perjury trial at the High Court in Glasgow in December 2010. Operation Rubicon detectives have been looking at whether certain witnesses lied to the court during Sheridan's trial as part of a "full" investigation into phone hacking in Scotland. Today, Strathclyde police defended its Facebook posting. A spokeswoman for the force said the announcement was posted on Facebook because it was "another way of letting the public know about the arrest." She said the force was receiving inquiries from members of the international media who were "not in our systems for updating them." Asked about the comments and likes she said: "I suppose people are just expressing their opinion." The spokeswoman said there was no mechanism on Facebook for disabling comments and likes and the force was "caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" as it would have been "irresponsible" not to have put the update on the site. She said the police had not been contacted by the Crown Office with any concerns about a potential contempt of court.
