REGINA – A 21-year-old man being sought by police after escaping custody appears to have been taunting police online.

RCMP say Solomon Toutsaint ran away from the courthouse in Black Lake, Sask., on Jan. 21 while officers were taking several people in custody to their court appearances.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Since then, RCMP say it appears Toutsaint has been posting updates on his Facebook page saying “Catch me if you can lol” and “Imma bad boy.”

Sgt. Cory Niedzielski of the Stony Rapids detachment says Toutsaint is “sort of treating everything a little bit like a game.”

However, Niedzielski says the posts and information being supplied by the public may be giving investigators some idea of where Toutsaint might be.

The officer says Toutsaint would have to be using a Wi-Fi connection or someone’s home connection to be posting.
