After two months on the run from the police, one criminal decided to celebrate by sharing a wanted picture of himself on Facebook - before being arrested hours later.
Anthony James Lescowitch Jr., 35, who refers to himself as 'Jimi' on his Facebook page, shared a post from Freeland Police Department asking for the public to help find him after he was accused of assaulting a man during a robbery.
Lescowitch, who had avoided the police's attempts to arrest him since November, even commented on the post, with friends joking about whether he needed " a ride" to the police station.
But his satirical ploy turned to despair when cunning detectives swiftly identified him as their target and set about trying to bring him in for arrest, using an undercover police officer to lure him into their clutches.
The officer, T.J. Rentschler, posed as a woman in order to gain significant information on his whereabouts. Within 30 minutes of talking to Lescowitch, the officer had convinced him to meet for a drink, with Lescowitch agreeing to meet an unknown unlocation. When he arrived, two patrol cars pulled up and took the Pennsylvania man into custody.
