today april 10th 2012, on yahoo.com i read an article about a washington man on the run from police updates his criminal activity on the social media site " Facebook". 26 year old Travis A. Nicolaysen was on the run from police since two nights ago accroding to the article " He was convicted of 5 felonies including domestic violence, burglary and theft of a firearm, police said. He is wanted by the Washington state Department of Corrections for failing to check in with his community corrections officer since January. Nicolaysen had posted on his Facebook account "'got away thanks bro'. furthermore Travis A. Nicolaysen posted to his account: "Cops all over you."family members and friends advised him to keep on the run from police and family members tell Travis to turn himself in so he could set an example for his children. also according to the article Travis was reportedly been accused of assaulting his girlfriend on March 28, police said. Better make that his ex-girlfriend. In a post Saturday, Nicolaysen changed his relationship status to single due to the altercation. The article also goes on to state that police have already issued
a warrant out for Nicolaysen arrest and are watching his Facebook account for
any clues to where he may be. The article went on to state “Facebook tells its
users that it may share certain information if it gets requests from law
enforcement, and that it does have some ability to track people via IP
addresses and GPS location. Serving Facebook with a search warrant is a
possibility, but there are no immediate plans for that, Smith said. For now,
police hope the publicity alone may be enough to flush him out in a city the
size of Port Angeles, which
has a population of 19,000 and is about 65 miles northwest of Seattle on the
Olympic Peninsula."In a smaller community, it's harder to disappear and be
anonymous," Smith said. "We're hoping people who know him call
police.
I think this man ( Travis ) should have been arrested .
especially since his town isn’t that big so the police should be able to find
him easily since the family and friends were making comments on his facebook
which result in the police watching his account for his trace of his recent
movements. Which hasn’t gotten them far, they need to talk to friends and
family members and even his ex-girlfriend who accused him of assaulting her.
