And finally… cry baby

When police in Ohio warned their followers on Facebook to avoid a wanted man they received an unexpected response.

The assault, burglary and abduction suspect, Andrew Marcum, 21, commented on their post, saying he was not worried: “I ain’t tripping half of them don’t even know me”.

Police responded to Mr Marcum’s show of bravado by warning him not to “poke the bear”.

Sheriff Richard Jones said: “I take that as a challenge, and I take this as a challenge.

“And as we speak this individual is taunting the police, and it’s not good to taunt the police.”

The police also responded by uploading a welcoming image of the room they had reserved for Mr Marcum – a prison cell.

Less than 24 hours later they tweeted his mugshot, in which he can be seen crying.

They shared the photo on Facebook, saying: “Andrew Dale Marcum will be off Facebook temporarily, because there is no social media access in the Butler County Jail. He’s turned himself in.”

He was arrested on various counts of burglary, assault and abduction.
