Suspect posted on police Facebook page to ask for a better mugshot

A brazen fugitive has taunted police on Facebook after cheekily asking them to use a better mugshot.

Daniel Damon"s photograph was posted on Facebook yesterday by Victoria Police, in Australia, after an arrest warrant was issued for him – in connection to traffic and drugs offences.

But while the police had hoped to receive information from the public about Damon"s location, they received an unexpected response from the man himself.

 
 
‘Can you use a better photo tho. This is a horrible mugshot", a man going by Danny"s name wrote.

Responding to his post, the good-humoured officers responded: ‘Hi Daniel, please visit your nearest police station and we"ll arrange for a new photo to be taken".

Daniel then seemed pretty cooperative, and told officers that he was planning to ‘organise myself a lawyer and get everything organised", before handing himself into police.

But this hasn"t happened yet, and ‘Mr Damon is yet to be located or present himself for his new photograph as yet, Victoria Police confirmed to Mashable.
