Police departments have entered the age of social media. Many departments now have Facebook and Twitter presences in their effort to best reach members of their communities. Sometimes, that means posting photos of criminals to ask for the public’s help finding them.

A Washington State police department recently posted a photo of a man wanted for a probation violation. The post was part of their “Wanted Wednesday” feature, where they ask for the public’s help trying to find wanted criminals.

Anthony Akers, 38, saw the post about himself on the Richland Police Department Facebook page and decided to respond. He commented on the photo, saying he would turn himself in. Things didn’t go quite so smoothly, but Anthony stayed in touch via Facebook every step of the way. As the exchange between Anthony and Richland cops continued, the post went viral. Anthony did eventually surrender to police, but not before gaining a number of fans for his way of handling the situation.
