Anthony James Lescowitch made it really easy for the Freeland Police Department in Freeland, Pa. to apprehend him. 

On Monday evening, the department posted an update requesting information about the 35-year-old Lescowitch's whereabouts. For whatever reason, Lescowitch decided to share the status on his own Facebook page. According to Uproxx, police caught him after an officer messaged him, pretending to be an attractive woman who wanted to meet for a cigarette. 

He was promptly arrested at the meet-up location 45 minutes after posting his status update. The Freeland Police Department posted a celebratory follow up alerting everyone that they had apprehended Lescowitch.


It makes you wonder how Lescowitch managed to stay on the lam for months.
