SEATTLE. In these days of social media, “think before you click” is something everyone should practice. This is what Levi Charles Reardon should have thought of before he clicked on the picture of his “wanted” mugshot on a Seattle area police Facebook page which soon led to his arrest.
Great Falls/Cascade Country Crimestoppers shared Reardon’s mugshot on their Facebook page. Reardon liked his own mugshot on the page, an act that led authorities to track him down.
Crimestoppers took a screenshot of Reardon liking his own mugshot before he got to “unlike” it.
