Man posts status as fugitive on Facebook, is promptly arrested

Be careful what you share on Facebook.

On Monday evening, police officers in Freeland, Pennsylvania, posted a photo of Anthony James Lescowitch, 35, on Facebook, noting that he was wanted for "Aggravated Assault and numerous other charges" stemming from an incident last July.

Anyone who knew Lescowitch's whereabouts was asked to call police or 911.

Minutes later, Lescowitch shared the "wanted" post, taunting police for not being able to find him.

Less than an hour later, they did.

An officer pretending to be an attractive woman messaged Lescowitch on Facebook and offered to meet up for drink. He agreed to meet for a cigarette — and was arrested at the location where they planned to meet.

After the arrest, police posted a follow-up message on Facebook:

"CAPTURED!!!!!! SHARES OUR STATUS ON FACEBOOK ABOUT HIMSELF, CAPTURED 45 MINUTES LATER."
