MARYLAND - Facebook Gets Wanted Man

"'Can't catch me.' Wanted man arrested after taunting police on Facebook" by Jessica Durando, USA Today 7/25/2014

Police in Maryland arrested a 28-year-old man one day after cops say he taunted them on Facebook.

Roger Ray Ireland was profiled in the Anne Arundel County Police Department's "#WantedWednesday" feature on July 23 on Facebook.

Ireland, of Edgewater, Md., commented on the social media thread, "Can't catch me…"

Police said detectives located Ireland in south Baltimore on July 24, pulling him over during a traffic stop at about 1 p.m.

"Social Media is a great tool for law enforcement," said Police Chief Kevin Davis on Facebook.  "The amount of tips that we receive daily on social media shows how much ownership citizens are taking in their own communities."

He was served with an outstanding warrant for violation of probation.
