WATCH ABOVE: Wanted man Andrew Dale Marcum is in custody after trolling the Butler County Sheriff’s Office “featured warrant of the week” Facebook post
TORONTO – If there’s a warrant out for your arrest, it’s probably not a good idea to troll police on your Facebook ‘wanted’ poster.
That’s exactly what one Ohio man did and now he’s in police custody.
Butler County Sheriff’s Office posted a ‘ featured warrant of the week’ bulletin on its Facebook page Monday, asking for the public’s assistance in apprehending Andrew Dale Marcum.
The 21-year-old is accused of burglary, abduction, assault and domestic violence.
Shortly after the police posting, a Facebook user under the name Andrew Marcum commented on the posting.
“I ain’t tripping half of them don’t even know me,” the social media user wrote.
Police responded to the comment.
“Andrew Marcum- If you could stop by the Sheriff’s Office, that’d be great.”
On Tuesday morning, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones began to troll Marcum on Twitter.
Here’s the play-by-play:
Marcum eventually turned himself in.
Late Tuesday night, the police department took to Facebook to thank their social media followers for their efforts in assisting in the arrest.
