Because of its performance aspect, Facebook is known to instigate feelings of FOMO, jealousy and envy in many of its users. But the social media network can also be a really great self-esteem booster when it highlights silly people doing silly, silly things.
Case in point, 21-year-old Andrew Marcum from Butler County, Ohio, who turned himself in this week after openly taunting the police on Facebook.
On Monday, the sheriff's office posted an alert on its Facebook page about Marcum, who was wanted on multiple charges including burglary, domestic violence and abduction.
Going against the common belief that you should lay low when the cops are trying to track you down, Marcum was the first person to comment on the post. "I ain't tripping half of them don't even know me," Marcum allegedly wrote.
You may be wondering what this means. So is the rest of the world. Not wanting to seem like he didn't have a good sense of humor, Sheriff Richard Jones responded back to Marcum on Twitter.

Tips about Marcum's whereabouts came rolling in after that. On Tuesday, what looks like a crying Marcum turned himself in.
Not wanting to miss this great Twitter opportunity, the sheriff responded appropriately.
Is it raining outside or is he teared up. Tough guys sometime sensitive
