Stuart Police Department officers detained 42-year-old Mack Yearwood, who’d been on the lam for 11 months for violating his probation on two battery charges, on Tuesday. Florida cops tracked down and arrested a fugitive after he used a wanted poster featuring his mugshot for his Facebook profile picture. The alleged victim identified Yearwood, who’d already fled the scene by the time the cops had arrived, as the suspect. “The patrol guys, to look where he was and for some intelligence, they went to his Facebook page,” Stuart Police Cpl. “They discovered that he used his wanted poster for his Facebook profile.”Police used that information to arrest Yearwood over the two warrants at his brother’s home.
