The comment on a Facebook post led to the arrest of a person in the US state of Georgia. But it was the man himself who accused the police of arresting him.
It all started when the profile of the Rockdale County central police station released a list of the most wanted criminals in the area on November 28, seeking the public’s help in filing information about the suspects.
Christopher Spaulding decided to comment on this article: “What about me?”. What might have been an irony or a joke turned into a confession: According to police, Christopher had two warrants for his arrest for violating his parole.
The police replied to the broadcast, “You are right, you have two arrest warrants, we are on our way.”
Four days later, the police station’s profile gave updates on the case:
Along with a photo of the captured Christopher, they wrote, “Thanks for helping with his arrest! Special thanks to our Fugitives Unit for taking action and effectively arresting Mr. Spaulding, who has 2 warrants for his arrest for Probation Violation,” they wrote. .
“Our top 10 most wanted list is based on the seriousness of the charges. Not being on this list doesn’t mean the Fugitives Unit didn’t call you if you have an active search warrant,” the police said.
There was also guidance for other fugitives who wanted to turn themselves in: “If you have any information or want to know if you have a search warrant, contact Inspector Dunn,” the publication says.
