Fugitive Arrested After Using 'Wanted' Poster As His Facebook Profile Pic (ibtimes.co.uk)

"A fugitive in Florida has been arrested by police after he used a wanted poster adorned with his mug shot for his Facebook profile picture," writes the International Business Times. After investigating reports of a disturbance, police discovered the 41-year-old's Facebook profile, which revealed the man was already wanted for six months for violating his parole after two counts of battery.
"Police say that as they arrested Yearwood a bag of marijuana fell out of his pocket. They charged him with possession of cannabis under 20 grams and are continuing to investigate the battery complaint."
One Twitter user jokingly suggested that the suspect should also be charged with copyright infringement -- for using the police department's photo without their permission.

My step father passed away several years ago and someone had pulled pictures of him off the internet for some leaflets at the memorial service. The primary one happened to be a mug shot that was released after he bailed on court ordered rehab. For some reason he was smiling widely. I never found out who did the leaflet but knowing his siblings its 50/50 between it being the best joke ever and beautiful ignorance.
Guess who has two thumbs and refuses to read stories on sites that want me to disable an ad blocker or answer a poll question.
Here's another site hosting the same article which doesn't mind ad blockers.
