Facebook Taunting Fugitive
‘Catch Me If You Can’ Fail
Logan James, a fugitive in Wales, made the mistake of taunting Gwent Police on Facebook. After they posted a photo of him for breaching his prison release terms, James responded with, “Haha catch me if you can won’t see me slipping.” Predictably, this bravado didn’t end well—he was caught later that day. The police thanked him for making their job easier by drawing attention to himself.
Social Media Misstep
James’ ill-advised taunt turned his brief freedom into a quick return to custody. His overconfidence and need to boast on social media provide a perfect example of how not to evade law enforcement. By drawing attention to himself, James made it easy for the police to track him down, highlighting the perils of criminal bravado in the age of social media.
