Cops find robbery suspect after sending him Facebook warning
BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. — State police have helped cops in a Pennsylvania town keep a Facebook promise they made to an armed robbery suspect: “We WILL find you.”
The Meadville Tribune (http://bit.ly/2ggUZ5A ) reports that 32-year-old Robert Watkins III was arrested Sunday in Rockdale Township. That’s near Meadville, which is Watkins’ hometown.
About 100 miles away in Bridgeville, police got a warrant charging Watkins with a Thanksgiving Day gas station robbery.
Bridgeville police had posted a message on Facebook saying, “It’s only a matter of time before we find you.” The post included several pictures of Watkins, and said he had been identified through surveillance video.
