BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio — The Butler County Sheriff’s Office posted an alert about a man wanted on a range of charges, seeking information about his whereabouts.

ABC News reports that while they received a number of comments, one of them was from the suspect himself.

“I ain’t tripping half of them don’t even know me,” posted Andrew Dale Marcum from his Facebook account. He was wanted on burglary, abduction, assault and domestic violence charges.

The sheriff’s office responded: “If you could stop by the Sheriff’s Office, that’d be great.”

County Sheriff Richard K. Jones also took to Twitter to tell Marcum that they had his jail cell ready.

Marcum eventually turned himself into the authorities later in the day. The sheriff’s office posted an update to anyone following on Facebook.
