Here are a few people who completely exposed themselves!
10 - David Guerra Someone should have told David that you shouldn't
post evidence of your crimes on social media.
This genius from San Antonio's South Side posed for the camera holding cash, guns, and
let’s call it, illegal substances because, thanks YouTube censors.
Clearly, David was looking for attention.
And he got it!
Shortly after he posted, the images came to the attention of the Bexar County Sheriff's
Department.
They sent three different divisions after Guerra, and it didn't take long for them to
find his car and pull him over.
In the car, they found illegal substances, a loaded gun, and cash.
The sheriffs also found another man in the car with him, Erza Guerra.
They arrested them both.
We don't think they let you post on Instagram from jail, so we may not hear from them for
a while.
9 - Paula Asher It was bad enough that a Kentucky woman made
the awful choice to drive drunk, but when Paula Asher slammed into a car filled with
four teenagers, she made things even worse by driving away.
Police inevitably caught up with and charged her with four crimes: driving under the influence,
leaving the scene of an accident, driving under the influence of alcohol, and possession
of a controlled substance.
Asher didn't keep quiet afterward.
Though, her lawyer probably wishes she did.
In her infinite wisdom, she decided to post on Facebook about how she got drunk and hit
another car.
She made sure to end the post with a signature, "LOL."
It's one thing to make terrible choices.
It's something entirely worse to 'Laugh Out Loud' about them on social media.
Outraged families saw and shared the post with the judge in the case.
The judge was… shall we say… unhappy.
When judge Mary Jane Phelps saw Asher in court for the first time, she told her to delete
that Facebook account.
But Asher didn't delete her Facebook account—another in a series of unwise decisions.
When the judge found out, Asher was found in contempt of court and sentenced to spend
two days in the county jail.
In another 'DUI or LOL' moment, Oregon teen Jacob Cox-Brown had a serious wake-up call
driving drunk.
He, too, joked about his crime on Facebook when he wrote, "Drivin drunk ... classic,
but I am sorry to whoever's vehicle I hit.
He ended the post with a sticking-your-tongue-out emoji.
Two of his Facebook friends shared the post with police, who promptly arrested Jacob.
When you post something like that, you've got to assume it won't stay private for long.
8 - Nicholas Grove HE didn't want to go to jail.
So, when cops brought him in for booking, he decided to run away.
He was originally arrested for stealing computers, checks, and credit cards from an Oregon Education
District building.
Nicholas couldn't bear the thought of prison, so as they were booking him, he hopped over
a counter and ran away.
Freedom didn't last long.
They scooped him back up later that summer and booked him— successfully this time—to
await trial.
Still, Grove was determined.
Grove seized another opportunity in the rec yard by climbing over the fence - a fence
topped with razor wire - and went on the run again.
This time, he made it to Mexico.
Maybe Nicholas thought he was Andy Dufresne, the character from the Shawshank Redemption
who broke out of prison to live out his days in Mexico.
He wasn't.
If you watch the movie carefully, you'll notice that Andy Dufresne never posted anything on
Facebook.
But while Nicholas lived a life of freedom in Mexico, he just kept posting.
He posted selfies of himself in and around Cancun, which made it pretty easy for police
to find him once they got the info from Facebook.
A year and a half later, U.S. marshals swooped into Tulum, Mexico, and picked up the fugitive.
They hauled him back to Oregon to face trial for his original crimes and a new one: felony
escape.
He got five years.
7 - Dakkari McAnuff
A Los Angeles man named Dakkari McAnuff thought he cracked the code to get famous on Social
Media.
For some reason, he felt the secret to Twitter fame involved showing the world your gun and
aiming it at people.
Then he said if he got 100 retweets, he'd use it on someone.
It didn't take long for cops to figure out who posted the image and caption on Twitter.
It also didn't take long for them to arrest McAnuff and bring him to jail.
We don't know how long it'll take for this Los Angeles Sniper to learn his lesson.
But we doubt he'll post about it when he does.
6 - Arlando Henderson He just LOVED to flaunt his luxury lifestyle
on social media.
He took pictures of himself next to his brand new Mercedes and posted them, claiming to
be 'building his brand.'
He also posted pictures of himself holding huge stacks of cash.
While he posted like a famous rapper, Arlando was a lowly bank teller in North Carolina.
We're not sure how many likes he got, but we do know the FBI weren't his biggest fans.
However, Henderson was pretty brave in his plot to rob his own bank.
He just walked into the vault, grabbed people's cash, and deposited it into his account at
an ATM around the corner.
In all, he made off with $88,000.
He put $20,000 down to buy the new Mercedes that he proudly posed with for social media.
Once the FBI got involved, Arlando's life of luxury came crumbling down.
Arlando was charged with a few counts of fraud and 19 separate counts of theft and embezzlement.
With decades in prison and millions of dollars in fines heading his way, Arlando probably
wishes he stayed off social media.

5 - Leigh Van Bryan After a long flight from London, Leigh Van
Bryan landed in Los Angeles with his friend Emily Bunting.
Leigh and Emily made it through passport control.
However, less-than-friendly Homeland Security agents prevented them from taking another
step.
In this case, it wasn't that Leigh and Emily had done something.
It wasn't even that they were planning to do something.
Instead, border agents detained and grilled them over some cheeky tweets Leigh posted
before traveling to L.A.
Before leaving, he posted about how he would 'destroy' America and dig up Marilyn Monroe's
grave.
Not exactly wise, but still just a Tweet.
What the border agents didn't understand, according to Leigh, is that 'Destroy' is slang
for 'Party.'
So when he tweeted that he was going to 'destroy America,' he was talking about partying.
Oh, and he didn't mean it when he tweeted three weeks prior that they were going to
Hollywood Boulevard to upset people and dig up Marilyn Monroe's grave.
In fairness, maybe it was all a big misunderstanding.
It seems likely that Leigh and Emily were traveling to L.A. to have fun and party.
And, as they pointed out to the border agents, 'digging up Marilyn Monroe's grave' is a joke
he lifted from the show 'Family Guy.'
The Department of Homeland Security was having none of it, though.
So instead of a hearty 'Welcome to America,' they got a trip in a police van and an overnight
stay in a holding cell.
Leigh met some nice men in his holding cell who were allegedly huge and covered with tattoos.
They told him they'd been arrested for smuggling substances into the country.
Then they took his dinner.
The next day, it was back to the airport for Leigh and his friend, where they were sent
home on a jet.
4 - Dominyk Alfonseca Dominyk will have you know, he’s the victim
in this story.
All he did was walk into a bank and ask for some money.
He smiled at the teller and handed her a note.
He said please and thank you.
What we know at this point is that Dominyk was a very polite bank robber.
His note, though, was a little more urgent.
It said he needed the money 'Right NOW!!' because it only takes the police three or
four minutes to arrive.
Then it said to ring the alarm a minute after he's gone and make sure the money doesn't
blow up on his way out.
He even put a little smiley face at the end.
He walked out with a bag full of cash and was arrested twenty-two minutes later.
Alfonseca didn't waste those twenty-two minutes.
That was all the time he needed to make a couple of Instagram posts, sharing videos
of the robbery and a photo of the note he'd given the teller.
The reason why Alfonseca believed he was the victim is pretty simple.
He never threatened the teller or anyone else.
He just politely asked for the money.
It's not his fault she was generous.
Nothing to do with the fact that he was an aspiring rapper who posted the photo and videos
for exposure…
Not one to miss an opportunity, Alfonseco took some time in a jailhouse interview to
give shoutouts to Michelle Obama, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga.
3 - Augustin Nadreau On a sunny January afternoon on Staten Island,
Augustin made a little clip for his Instagram followers.
He filmed himself strolling down the sidewalk and chatting with a postal service worker.
Then, he filmed himself walking into a bank and telling a cashier how lovely she was.
He was careful to say he was a one-woman man, but if he weren't, he would marry her.
Finally, Augustin turned to the room and shouted at the top of his lungs: "this is a robbery."
Then he left.
Augustin didn't stick around to get any money.
If he had, things would have gone a lot worse for him.
Even so, the police were happy to charge him with several crimes.
In a hilarious twist, this was the 2nd bank he ‘robbed’ that day.
He also had an open case from 2018 in which he walked into another bank and pulled the
same stunt.
In the end, he was charged with reckless endangerment.
Police also found a little bit of weed on him, which was still illegal at the time.
2 - Hareem Shah Some people never learn.
Take this Pakistani TikTok star for instance.
In 2019, Shah filmed herself in the conference room of Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
something that's strictly forbidden.
If she just kept quiet, she'd probably get away with it.
But that's not what TikTok celebrities do.
Instead, Shah did the opposite.
She posted it on TikTok for her 1-million+ followers, prompting outrage and criticism
on social media.
The government launched a small investigation, but she never suffered any consequences.
She got away with it… this time.
After a brush with the law, you'd think that Shah would be cautious about what she posted
online.
But, in January of 2022, she did it again.
Shah posted pics of herself after arriving in London carrying loads of cash.
In the video, she claims she brought it illegally from her native Pakistan.
This time, though, she took things even further.
She told her followers that even though they should be careful if they did something like
that, it was easy for her, and they couldn't stop her.
She even said that, in Pakistan, the laws are only for the poor.
We can't say for sure if Shah learned from this.
Still, nobody likes a gloater.
This time, the outrage was loud enough that Pakistan's Feds launched a money-laundering
investigation into Shah's activity.
That's when things got uncomfortable.
A prominent Pakistani politician stepped forward in Shah's defense in an unexpected twist.
Daniyal Malik, a former candidate for one of Pakistan's larger political parties and
a businessman in London, told the press that the cash was his and that he'd loaned it to
Shah as a friend so she could make a fun little video for the internet.
According to Daniyal, the cash was all for legitimate business, and Shah had done nothing
wrong.
This must be true; when has a politician ever stretched the truth?
1 - Andrew Hennels Andrew went on Facebook and posted about his
plan to rob his local Tesco supermarket.
He must have made the post moments before walking into the store, because just 15 minutes
later, police had him in custody!
He managed to steal a getaway car in that short window and drove to a local pub.
When police picked him up, they found the weapon he used to threaten the clerk and the
400 pounds he'd stolen from the store.
The police seemed grateful for the Facebook post.
To them, the pictures and posts confirmed what they already knew.

you, would you tell the police or would you mind your own business?
