A man trolled police by commenting on his own “Wanted” poster on Facebook, Mississippi cops said. Then he got busted.

The Jones County Sheriff’s Department posted “Wanted” posters for six people on Nov 15, including a 31-year-old wanted on a bench warrant. A bench warrant is an order written by a judge that authorizes the arrest of someone.
