Police in New York say a fugitive all but turned himself in by posting his workplace on Facebook and MySpace.
Police in Lockport passed along the information about 39-year-old Christopher Crego to US marshals. He was arrested at a tattoo parlour where he was working in Indiana.
Crego had been wanted since he failed to show up for a sentencing hearing after pleading guilty in the fall to assault. He was also charged with drunken driving, drug possession and using a BB gun to kill birds.
Lockport police posted a thank-you note on Crego's Facebook page saying: "It was due to your diligence in keeping us informed that now you are under arrest."
