Dim Crims: Facebook snares fugitive

When the Pasco, Florida, Sheriff's Office named Matthew Oliver as the Fugitive of the Day on its Facebook page, comments flowed in fast. Followers were quick to poke fun at Oliver, who was smiling in the photo. The script above the picture called for tips because he was wanted in connection with a robbery. Then Oliver, 23, chimed in. He wrote that the Sheriff's Office had slandered him and that he was in a hospital at the time of the robbery. Just after noon Friday, deputies found Oliver at a relative's house. His comments helped lead deputies to the home. Details here.  [BJS]
