He trolled police on his own ‘Wanted’ poster on Facebook – and got busted, US cops say


The Laurel Leader-Call newspaper published a story on Nov 17 about him ‘taunting’ the sheriff’s department on Facebook and ran a photo of him on the front page. Deputies later arrested him while he was standing in his front yard, according to Fox. — AP

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.
