Florida man arrested after using his own 'wanted by police' poster as Facebook profile picture
A Florida man, Mack
Yearwood, a man with two outstanding warrants as well as a possible tie to
an open case was captured by police after he used his 'wanted by police' poster
as his Facebook profile photo.
“Facebook is a great way to communicate and
connect with old friends and family,” Cpl. Brian Bossio wrote in a post on the
Stuart Police Department’s Facebook page. If you are wanted by the police,
it’s probably not a good idea to use the ‘Wanted of the Week’ poster of
yourself as your profile pic.”
Police last week got
calls about an alleged battery at a local home and the victim pointed to
Yearwood as a possible suspect as he had already fled the scene before the
police arrived.
“The patrol guys,looked where he was and for
some intelligence, they went to his Facebook page,” Bossio told ABC news. They
discovered that he used his wanted poster for his Facebook profile.”
When officers found Yearwood, he was sleeping at his brother’s house, and upon their arrival, was also found with 'weed' in his pants.
