Even for a Florida man, this is just very Florida Man.

From Fox News:

A wanted Florida man has been arrested after a series of social media posts taunting the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Grady Judd for not being able to catch him.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office and Lakeland Police Department shared a series of Facebook posts by 29-year-old Aaron Donta Johnson, who was a wanted man for violating a pretrial release condition.

'Ya'll too busy fishing dats why yall didn't catch me when I left my grandmas house today,' Johnson said in one post to Judd's department. 'Should've waited a bit longer. Yall accepted da challenge right. #GradyCan't FindMe #ComeAgainGrady.'

It's true β€” the guy really took to Facebook and flamed the cops looking for him:

Alas for Mr. Johnson, the police were sufficiently spurred to action by his taunts, and wrote on Facebook,

When Aaron Johnson jumped on Facebook and challenged the Polk County Sheriff's Office, bragging he couldn't be caught despite having multiple felony warrants, our LPD officers said, 'Challenge accepted.'

Today, that little game ended. Our officers and detectives tracked him down and personally delivered him to the Deputies at the Polk County Jail.

You gotta admit, everyone looks pretty happy in this shot. πŸ˜‚

The police couldn't resist their own little bit of social media snark, meanwhile:

Nice try, Aaron. Maybe next time… but probably not.

Nice job everyone, crook included!
