Ugh, don’t you hate it when the police rush you into turning yourself in?
A Facebook post led to an unexpectedly hilarious exchange between the Richland Police Department and a wanted criminal who was taking his sweet time.
For its weekly “Wanted Wednesday,” the Washington police department posted a mugshot of 38-year-old Anthony Akers, who allegedly violated his probation. He has a history of illegal possession of prescription drugs and resisting arrest, according to the Tri-City Herald.
But Akers, clearly exasperated by the attention, didn’t want to be rushed.
“Calm down, im going to turn myself in,” he commented.
When he didn’t show up, the Richland Police Department tried reaching out again. They even offered him a ride to the station.
Akers said he needed to tie up “a couple loose ends” before his impending incarceration, but assured the police that he would show up in “the next 48 hours.”
On Monday, the police responded with another post, days after Akers promised to turn himself in.
“Dear Anthony, is it us?” the Richland Police Department asked. “We are beginning to think you are not coming.”
When he didn’t show over the weekend, Akers wrote a heartfelt apology for standing up the police. Here’s his tongue-in-cheek note admitting his “commitment issues.”
Dear RPD, its not you, its me. I obviously have commitment issues. I apologize for standing you up, but let me make it up to you. I will be there no later then lunchtime tomorrow, I know you have no reason to believe me after what i did to you, but I promise that if i dont make it on my own by lunchtime tomorrow I will call for a ride to assist me with my commitment issues. Thank you in advance to your response if you are patiently giving me another chance with us, I know i dont deserve it.
P.S. You’re beautful
After nearly a week of ghosting, empty promises, and leading them on, Akers finally turned himself in. He replied to the Richland Police Department’s post with a cheeky selfie captioned, “Here for our date sweetheart.”
