Well, this is brilliant.

A man in North Carolina, Derek Lee Helms, was wanted for a kidnapping and rape accusation, so the Sheriff in charge posted this winner’s information on social media in order to seek the public’s help in tracking him down.

On July 4th, the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office posted the following[2] on their Facebook page, along with two photos:

He resides in Stanly County, N.C. but could possibly have left the state. Helms is a white male and 28 years old. Helms may be driving a silver or gray four door 2005 Mercedes.

Standard issue explanation with enough identifying information that he ought to have been found relatively quickly, if enough people tuned in and paid attention.

One of the top-rated comments on the thread was from Brian Stallings, saying:

This is a great guy. I met him on a job where I was the Foreman and he worked hard for me. Through our time of working together, he always was speaking of his kids and how much he loved them. I’d be willing to speak up for this man. I will not believe that any of these charges are true.

And the next comment?

Left by the suspect himself, Derek Lee Helms, posted:

Thanks bud really appreciate it enjoyed working with yall guys aswell . truth coming out bfor long vindictive and spitfullness and some croked cops.

Followed two minutes later by the Sheriff’s Office, posting:

Derek Helms you need to turn yourself in.

Stupid criminals are the best. But as of yet, Derek has not been located.
