Knucklehead wanted by police posts ‘hide-and-seek' taunt on social media, leading cops right to him
He's got nowhere to hide. 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. Eugene Fritz Case, 54, taunted cops on Facebook, but ultimately lost the game when he was busted. McLennan County Jail 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. Eugene Fritz Case's July 10 post mocking search warrants — before he was arrested on one. City of Mart Police Department 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.'
