But not 21-year-old Andrew Marcum, who was [arrested this week](http://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/andrew-marcum-wanted-ohio-man-openly-taunts-cops-facebook-then-n317111 "undefined") in Butler County, Ohio, after getting into a social media spat with the police. It all started when the sheriff’s office posted an alert on its Facebook page Monday about Marcum, who was wanted for charges including burglary, abduction and assault, NBC News [reports.](http://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/andrew-marcum-wanted-ohio-man-openly-taunts-cops-facebook-then-n317111 "undefined") Here’s the posting: The first person to comment?

The sheriff’s office Facebook page certainly got the last laugh: ### This Is What Your Facebook Profile Looked Like Over the Last 11 Years  The Original Facebook Group Page, 2004\.
