MO. — LAWRENCE COUNTY Police in Aurora and Marionville (AMPD) asked people on Facebook to help them find a man they were looking for. After they tagged him on the social media site, he replied, which made the comments part very funny.
The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office says that Austin Huse, 26, of Aurora, was arrested on charges of driving a car without a license, resisting arrest three times for a felony, receiving stolen property, having a gun without a license, having drugs, breaking and entering in the first degree, 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.
