- 8 years ago
Florida resident Mack Yearwood was recently arrested by the Stuart Police after officers identified him through his Facebook profile picture which had been updated with his Wanted poster.
Facebook users typically use profile pictures which reflect a positive image, but one man was not so discerning, and it got him arrested.
Earlier this week, Stuart Police in Florida tweeted about a man named Mack Yearwood who the department states “used his ‘Wanted of the Week’ poster as his profile pic on social media.”
The accompanying image shows a screenshot confirming that Yearwood made the change on March 2 along with the virtual flyer containing his picture, name, age, weight, and alleged crime.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the photo was used to “help identify him as a suspect in a reported disturbance from Monday night at a home in Stuart.”
Investigators note that Yearwood was taken into custody on Tuesday for two "outstanding charges," reports WPTV.
