With this action he almost begged for his arrest …
Actually everything started quite harmlessly: The police from Rockdale County (US state Georgia) published on Facebook a “Most Wanted” list. So showed the most wanted criminals in the region – and asked for information from the population.
So far, so normal. But one Facebook user apparently felt his honor was violated. Not because he was on the list.
But because he was NOT on the list!
So in the comments below the Facebook post on the police page, the man named Christopher Spaulding asked, “What regarding me?”
Not a really good idea. The police replied: “You are right, there are two arrest warrants once morest you, we are on our way.” And the handcuffs clicked!
This Facebook comment led to Spaulding’s arrest
Spaulding had therefore violated his probation conditions. The police wrote in a sarcastic tone following the arrest: “We thank you for your assistance in the arrest.”
The “Most Wanted” list was compiled solely according to the severity of the allegations, the police added. And added as a message for those who may be disappointed: “The fact that you are not on this list does not mean that our unit will not be looking for you if there is a warrant for your arrest.”
