It took around an hour for a man wanted on multiple warrants to be taken into custody, thanks to social media.

On Sunday morning, Aug. 16, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook that police were looking for a 32-year-old African American male, 5-8 tall, 130 pounds, wearing a red shirt and last seen near CVS in Hillsboro.  He was wanted on multiple warrants plus fleeing and eluding police.

“If seen, do not approach and please call 911,” the post said.

Around an hour later, the sheriff’s office posted that the “wanted subject in our previous post is in custody at the Montgomery County Jail, thanks to the help from our Facebook family.  Thank you all for sharing our post and bringing the situation to a safe ending.  Also, a huge shout-out to the Litchfield Police Department, Hillsboro Police Department, Illinois State Police, and the Litchfield Fire Department for their assistance.”
