A man wanted for a slew of crimes has been apprehended by authorities after he commented on a police Facebook page.
Andrew Dale Marcum, from Ohio, was wanted for burglary, domestic violence and abduction by the Butler County Sherrif's Office, who shared a post asking for any information on his whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Marcum himself responded to the post, rather cryptically writing "I ain't tripping half of them don't even know me."
Sheriff Richard Jones helpfully reminded Marcum on Twitter about what awaited him:

A short time later the fugitive was in police custody, having handed himself in. It's unlikely he'll be posting anything on Facebook for the forseeable future.
