Bank robber chatted with police on MySpace
Alleged bank robber arrested after chats with detective on MySpace:
29-year-old Charles Rehmund of Florida was on the run for allegedly robbing a bank. Police were able to locate his MySpace and sent him a message. No undercover or anything, just a message saying that they were the police. Rehmund then ‘friended’ the investigator. The investigator urged Rehmund to turn himself in. He said he would but of course he didn’t.
Investigators were tipped off to Rehmund’s location. The one investigator kept Rehmund chatting on MySpace while local police went to his location and arrested him.
I couldn’t find a MySpace for Rehmund. I’m guessing that investigator is not going to be in his Top 8.

That’s great! I love stoopid criminals.
The internet has become an effective tool for crime-fighting.
