Montana Man Arrested After Liking His Own ‘Wanted’ Photo On Facebook
A Montana man has been arrested after he reportedly liked his own “wanted” photo on Facebook.
Levi Charles Reardon, 23, was wanted for theft and forgery. The Cascade County Crime Stoppers posted Reardon’s picture on their Facebook page as part of their April’s “Most Wanted” list, where Levi later “liked” it. Luckily, the Great Falls Tribune was able to capture a screenshot of the photo and Reardon’s name before Levi revoked his like.
According to authorities, Levi was arrested on Friday, April 24 without incident. According to police records, Levi had two warrants out for his arrest after allegedly stealing a wallet and personal checks in January before fraudulently cashing four of the checks.

The Great Falls Tribune reports that “documents says one of the checks was cashed at a grocery store after a law enforcement officer contacted Reardon about the missing wallet and that checks made out to him were reported as fraudulent.”
On Monday, April 27, Levi made his initial court appearance on a $2,500 warrant for felony forgery (common scheme). His arraignment is scheduled for May 7.

The moral of this story is… If you have a warrant out for your arrest, and a photo of your mugshot is circulating on Facebook, DO NOT LIKE IT!
