Quote : | "Fugitive on the run for 12 years located after moaning on Facebook Oversharing on Facebook is something that we're all guilty of from time to time, but for one man in the US it landed him back in jail.
Robert Lewis Crose was wanted by authorities in California for a terrorist threat and gun violation and has been on the run for the past 12 years. Police caught up with Robert Lewis Crose after he posted his location on Facebook (PA) Police caught up with Robert Lewis Crose after he posted his location on Facebook (PA)
On October 28th, Mr Crose left a comment on his Facebook page about the cold weather, saying: 'Water line froze even with heat tape and wrap.'
The clueless criminal then went on to tell the whole world how to find him, posting his location as Cut Bank - in Montana - when someone asked where he was.
Police officers from California then sent a picture of Mr Crose to authorities in the state, and he was arrested at a local casino.
Glacier County sheriff Tom Siefert said: 'I talked to him, he said he'd worked cutting up here, harvesting, for the last ten years.'
Mr Crose was first arrested in 1996 when he fended off an intruder using a sawn off shot gun. He served a year in prison before his release, but was arrested and detained in 1998 again for another offence.
He is currently being held in the Glacier County jail.
Mr Crose is not the only criminal to have alerted the authorities to his whereabouts on the social networking site.
Last Christmas, escaped criminal Craig 'Lazie' Lynch posted a picture of himself holding a roast turkey, which was just one in a series of updates he issued about his activities on Facebook.
