A wanted man who taunted police with a nose-thumbing selfie campaign on his Facebook page has been jailed.
Aaron Bee, from Lincolnshire, UK, pleaded guilty to two charges dating back to October: breaking a non-molestation order and assault by beating.
Mr. Giiggles-R-Me Bee started the nyah-nyah images campaign on Facebook in November, after police put out an appeal asking for his whereabouts.
Cue lots of pictures of Bee gesturing at police, their cars and a police station – posted to his 3395 Facebook friends with the misspelled hashtag of #theystillcarntcatchme…
Just a quick selfie out side Lincoln police station [patrol car emojis] #theystillcarntcatchme
…coy fingertip waggling out the window at passing police…
Hello is it me your looking for [searching eyeball emojis x4]
…badly illuminated shots of caressing cop caravans while tittering…
My new motor haha
…badly illuminated images of hanging around at night outside the station’s front door…
Outside a village police station
…extremely badly illuminated shots of hanging around at night outside what Bee says are the police headquarters:
Me outside Lincolnshire head quarter
The BBC reports that Judge Michael Heath handed Bee an 8-month sentence last week, but he was released immediately because of the time he’d already spent on remand since being arrested in November 2014.
As of Thursday, he was once again free and posting merrily away:
Guess who's back freedommmmm
I’m sure that his many fans (Bee’s posts get hundreds of Likes) are a bit disappointed that the Hollywood-esque thriller has drawn to a close.
No worries, though. Someone who loves to hang around with the police this much will probably find a way to catch their attention again!
If he really likes to hang around police stations as much as his photos suggest, he might want to come taunt the police in Texas.
After all, the last time an alleged burglar told Texas cops to “Catch me if you can,” they did. In 5 minutes!
Wow – not the brightest bulb in the string is he !
However, I’m sure that sentence will act as a deterrent !!
If the media keep giving him attention then his behaviour will only increase. We could enter into the cons of social media and the encouragement from his ‘friends’ but it’s not worth the oxygen (oh, I just did enter it). There’s obviously a distinct desperation of needing/wanting the ‘notoriety’. Humans that are troubled in some manner tend to seek attention in negative ways. I know, been there….. I wasn’t wearing trackie pants though! Needs some help, the poor lad.
He seems to think he’s taunting the police….. Perhaps he needs to realise that they’ve got better things to do with their time. Example in point…. why would an officer on the beat even know or even care who he was? He’s hardly UK’s most wanted…. To them he’s just another kid who needs to find something more positive in his life.
Anyway…. The fashion police will get him! The constant choice of sweat pants as his signature apparel is a crime within itself.
