Foolish fugitive …

Foolish fugitive …

 

A fugitive on Canada's most wanted list ended up leading police to his doorstep after announcing where he was living in a defiant Facebook message to a television station publicising his case. Jessie Kowalchuk was wanted in the westernmost British Columbia province for violating his probation related to three separate crimes in 2015. When he spotted his photo on the website of television station CFJC Today in Kamloops, he sent a Facebook message to taunt the news show's producers. ‘News flash, morons I'm in Edmonton and not coming back,’ he wrote. Police arrested him in Edmonton, where he had apparently been living for three years.
