Knucklehead wanted by police posts ‘hide-and-seek' taunt on social media, leading cops right to him
A Texas bonehead who bragged on Facebook that arrest warrants were nothing but 'the adult version of hide-and-seek' couldn't hide from cops — who busted him on a warrant, reports said.
Fritz Eugene Case, 54, was picked up on a warrant last week in a raid by the Groesbeck Police Department and the McLennan County Sheriff's Office, KWKT-TV News reported.

The felony bust came less than a 10 days after Case took to Facebook to taunt police, saying in a wise-ass July 10 post that, 'Having warrants is basically the adult version of hide and seek.'
Cops executed the warrant in the city of Mart, about 18 miles east of Waco, on July 19, the outlet said.
Mart Police Chief Shane James told KWTK that more warrants were obtained based on evidence found during the raid on the South Smyth Street home.

Case was arrested on charges of fraud and theft and is being held at the McLennan County Jail on a $12,000 bond, online records show.
The online joker didn't just challenge cops on Facebook — he's also posted other words to regret.
'Karma is always watching,' he said in a July 7 post. 'Just like Santa Claus… only bitchier.'

Texas cop vows to give ‘everyone' a ticket after she didn't get laid the night before
A Texas cop vowed to give 'everyone' a ticket after she didn't get laid the night before, according to a since-deleted viral TikTok. The post showed uniformed Harris County Constable Precinct 5 Deputy Jennifer Escalera writing on a notepad with the caption, 'Didn't get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket' — a nod to her apparently unfulfilling sex life. The cop blurred parts of her uniform but left her nametag visible in her post. Advertisement The incident is now under investigation, according to Fox 26. 'Our administration is aware and internal affairs has opened an investigation. We have no other comment at this time,' the constable's office said. Advertisement Texas cop Jennifer Escalera wears her uniform in several of her TikTok posts. TikTok/@ Escalera is now under investigation over one post. TikTok/@ Escalera was sworn into the force in September 2021, according to a previous Facebook post from the precinct. The female cop's TikTok account features several posts showing her in uniform. She also posts about being a mom. Advertisement One of the posts shows Escalera getting ready 'to work as a female Police Officer' as the text across the screen reads, 'contemplating if I really need this job, knowing that I do.' Residents of the Texas precinct were outraged over some of the cop's posts. 'I think it's really inappropriate and disrespectful,' resident Alex Fitch told Fox 26. Advertisement 'Not as much distrust, but you can't rely on them. It makes them look unprofessional when they start posting videos like that. You can't take them seriously,' Fitch said. 'Then they wonder why, when you see them, they say, 'Why don't you respect me?' or, 'Why are you talking to me like that?' Well, you don't treat yourself like a woman, and you ain't treating yourself like a police officer.'

Enough Is Enough: San Diego Police Seize, Destroy Street Takeover Cars
Read the full story on The Auto Wire The gloves have come off as San Diego Police Department seizes and destroys cars used by street takeover participants. Normally, California law enforcement and the justice system in the state go famously soft on the street takeover crowd, just like looters during riots. But after decades of that not working, it seems SDPD is going old news station NBC 7 calls it a 'radical maneuver' even though this very thing is done all over the country. But it's being done to snap scofflaws in Southern California into realizing they need to stop. Will the move work? That's up for debate. One of two vehicles recently destroyed by SDPD on camera was a Toyota Chaser, a rare rear-wheel-drive JDM import. That has some enthusiasts outraged because such a vehicle is a sacred treasure to them. But others believe the practice of destroying cars used in the commission of crimes is counterproductive. After all, the vehicle didn't do anything wrong. They can be auctioned off to the public and some revenue generated for law enforcement. There's even the option of police departments repurposing seized cars for use by cops. Proponents of this practice think the public displays of destruction call attention to the seriousness of the crimes committed. In this case, it's sparking more dialog about what to do to combat the street takeover epidemic in California. In the past, the problem has been blown off as not a big deal, that kids are just having fun and not really doing any harm. The reality is the takeovers damage public and private property, innocent bystanders are sometimes hurt, participants are hurt or killed, and other illegal activities swirl around the gatherings. Something has to change in California as street takeovers rage out of control in the state. But is this the way to get it all under control?

Dear Abby: My girlfriend cheated on me with my brother — right before I went to prison
DEAR ABBY: I have been incarcerated for 21 months. I stay in contact with my immediate family, except for my brother. I suspect that he slept with my girlfriend a couple of weeks before I came to prison, although I'm not 100% sure. He tells our family members that it isn't true and that he wants me to reach out. But I don't know if I can until I'm completely sure he didn't do it. Do you have any advice? — LOCKED UP IN DELAWARE DEAR LOCKED UP: You are locked away with little but your suspicions to keep you company. Under these circumstances, I can see how they might grow. Why do you think your brother did this? What 'vibes' did you pick up on before you left? If you really think your girlfriend would do something like this, why do you still consider her your girlfriend? If she was unfaithful before you were incarcerated, what makes you think she is any different now? Advertisement You have no proof that either of them did anything. You should definitely talk to your brother and your girlfriend about your suspicions. If you do, perhaps they can put them to rest. DEAR ABBY: I enjoy keeping up with family and friends on Facebook, but I have two uncles whose political posts have become increasingly extreme. Their messages are filled with anger and hate. I hoped things would calm down after the election, but their rhetoric has intensified. I have unfriended others who shared similar views, but I am hesitant to do the same with family. I've tried 'snoozing' them for 30 days at a time, but when they return, the posts are even more upsetting. I'm deeply offended by some of what they write. Is it OK to unfriend family? And, if they notice and confront me, how should I respond? — DIFFERENT IN TEXAS DEAR DIFFERENT: You are not obligated to read anything that upsets you. This includes items posted by relatives. You can simply unfollow them without unfriending them. But Facebook does not notify anyone that they have been unfriended, so feel free to eliminate them from your feed if you'd like. If, by chance, they should confront you about it, be honest about your reason without being combative. Advertisement DEAR ABBY: I am getting married in six months and hosting a relatively small wedding (80 guests). My fiance and I recently received a save-the-date for a college friend's wedding. It's set to take place two weeks after ours. We will be on our honeymoon at that time and unable to attend. We were not originally planning to invite this couple to our wedding but now feel that we must invite them in order to explain that we'll be on our honeymoon during theirs. We did not send them a save-the-date card. What is the best way to approach this? We have limited space and budget, so adding two people is not easy. — OTHERWISE ENGAGED IN NEW YORK DEAR OTHERWISE ENGAGED: You are not obligated to invite this couple to your wedding. Write them a sweet note explaining that you are sorry you won't be able to attend because you will be on your honeymoon at that time. That's all you have to do. However, it would be nice if you sent them a small gift to be delivered at the time of their wedding along with warm wishes that they enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.
