Nyah Nyah, You Can’t— Oh

Matthew Oliver, 23, was named the “Fugitive of the Day” by the Pasco County, Fla., Sheriff’s Office; there was a warrant out for his arrest alleging he had robbed a friend. Deputies posted his mug shot on the sheriff’s Facebook page, and found one of the comments on the photo quite interesting. “Pasco County has nothing but fools investigating crimes for them that’s why these mix up happen,” Oliver commented below his mug shot. He said that “I swear on everything I own Pasco County WILL be held responsible for this” because, he claimed, he was in the hospital at the time of the robbery and thus could not have committed the crime. Facebook automatically showed the post to Oliver’s friends, and they started piping in to say where he was hiding, and making fun of his photo. Oliver was arrested at a relative’s home. (RC/Tampa Bay Times) ...Oliver was named the “Fugitive of the Day” by the sheriff, and “Idiot of the Week” by everyone else.
