Guy Makes Poor Choice in Liking a Facebook Post

(Newser) – Pro tip for (alleged) criminals: If you see your photograph featured as a "most wanted" suspect on your local Crime Stoppers' Facebook page, maybe don't "like" the post. Alas, Montana 23-year-old Levi Charles Reardon did not heed that advice, and now an arrest that might otherwise have gone unnoticed is getting coverage in places like, oh, France. The Great Falls Tribune reports Reardon was arrested last Friday, and while it doesn't appear that the like is what did him in, it is what's getting plenty of attention.

The Cascade County Crime Stoppers posted the photo last month and has since posted a few updates, including a screenshot of Reardon's like. "Haha his buddy commented and tagged him in the first place! whatta nice friend! LOL," observed one commenter. (Said friend's reply: "If I see someone I know making poor life choices gotta make sure it's known plus half the time people don't even know they have warrants or are wanted.") "To our current knowledge, Mr. Reardon's arrest was a result of an anonymous tip," Crime Stoppers commented in a follow-up post. Reardon is suspected of stealing a wallet and personal checks, then making four of the checks out to himself and cashing them.

Birther Joe Arpaio Makes 92 Arrests in Maricopa County Crime Sweep

Arizona birther Joe Arpaio is known for his "posses" and swift crime sweeps that render several people in tent city wearing pink and eating green bologna. His most recent crime sweep netted over 90 arrests, many of which were illegal immigrants.

Sources report that Joe Arpaio's latest crime sweep focused on human smuggling, DUI and drug related charges. Over 23 illegal immigrants were also apprehended. Recently, Arpaio came under media scrutiny when he announced his plans of piecing together a birther posse to investigate Barack Obama's birth certificate and citizenship. Not only is this man a vile, hateful sack; he's feeble. Barack Obama showed his short-form birth certificate in 2008, and then showed his long form birth certificate earlier this year. Furthermore, it's been repeated by nearly every news source around and the photographic evidence exists, of newspaper announcements of the POTUS's birth in Hawaii.

Although it's good that Arpaio is doing his job of protecting Maricopa County from human smuggling and druggie filth, he should probably focus less time and money on his moronic birther ideas. They're nonsensical and a total waste of resources. Hopefully no taxes are being used in his stupid posse.
