A man in the U.S.
who unwittingly shared a police department’s mug shot of him on Facebook was
nabbed less than an hour later.
Anthony James
Lescowitch Jr, on the ‘wanted’ list of the police, had been evading arrest in
Pennsylvania since November last year.
The Freeland police
department posted a photo of Lescowitch, 35, on its Facebook page last Monday,
noting that he was wanted for aggravated assault and numerous other charges.
The post stated that anyone who knew Lescowitch’s whereabouts call the police
or 911.
The police said they
noticed that Lescowitch shared their post about him minutes after they posted
it on their page.He also mocked them, Timesleader.com reported.
An undercover officer
created a fictitious profile of an attractive woman to chat with Lescowitch and
gather information about him. He persuaded Lescowitch to meet him for a
cigarette. The police then nabbed him.
