CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) -- An Idaho fugitive was caught Saturday after he made a post on Facebook inviting friends to join him at batting practice in Boise.
KTVB TV station in Boise says that Caldwell police officers showed up at the softball field after seeing the post on social media and arrested 22-year-old Joey Patterson.
He was wanted on a felony warrant for violating his probation on a fraud case out of Twin Falls. Patterson was booked into Canyon County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
Caldwell Police Sgt. Joey Hoadley says police often use social media to track down a fugitive. Hoadley says "even fugitives can't keep from updating their Facebook status, and it leads to some great arrests."
