A moaning fugitive, who spent 12 years on the run, has been arrested after posting his location on Facebook.
Robert Lewis Crose had been working in remote Montana and used his Facebook page to complain about the cold weather.
The 47-year-old wrote that temperatures had plunged close to freezing and that his "water line froze even with heat tape and wrap". When someone asked where he was, he responded with a post that he was in "Cut Bank" - a small town in the aptly-named Glacier County near the Canadian border.
Police distributed photographs of the fugitive in the area and were tipped off that Crose was at a local casino.
Glacier County sheriff Sgt Tom Siefert told reporters: "I talked to him, he said he'd worked cutting up here, harvesting, for the last 10 years."
Crose had been convicted of making a terrorist threat and of using a sawn-off shotgun to fend off an intruder at his shop in California Link (http://indepth.news.sky.com/InDepth/topic/California) in 1996.
He served less than a year in prison before being paroled but was then returned to prison for a violation and paroled again in 1998. He absconded from that parole.
Crose is now being held in Glacier County jail as officials in California begin the process of extraditing him from Montana.Face Book Sometimes Help Like this
