Aurora fugitive gets tagged on Facebook by police, he responds back

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Mo. — The Aurora and Marionville Police Department (AMPD) asked the public for their help to find a wanted man on Facebook. After tagging him on the social media platform, he responded causing the comment section to be thoroughly entertained.

According to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, Austin Huse, 26, of Aurora, was arrested on alleged charges of operating a vehicle without a valid license, three counts of resisting arrest for a felony, receiving stolen property, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of controlled substances, first-degree burglary and stealing.

On Sept. 17, AMPD published the following post:

Attention Community!!

We are requesting immediate assistance in locating a wanted individual – Austin Huse. He has outstanding felony warrant(s) for his arrest.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts, please contact our Dispatch at 417.316.6006!

Thank you,

– Your AMPD

In the comment section, AMPD tagged Huse and Huse responded:

AMPD proceeded to offer Huse a “complimentary stay – all expenses paid.”

The comment section seemed to enjoy the fact Huse was responding to people on the forum.

The back-and-forth would eventually lead to Huse’s arrest later in the night.

He has been held at the Lawrence County jail with no bond.
