So…who nominated him? Wanted Man Caught By Police After Posting Ice Bucket Video Most people know that if you’re hiding from police it’s best to keep a bit of a low profile . But one fugitive from the law just couldn’t resist taking on the ALS ice bucket challenge and showing all his friends on social media. Maybe he thought the cause was more important than his freedom? Via Gawker : Jesean Morris was wanted by police in Omaha for violating the terms of his parole. They found him after someone saw his video for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge—the dousing that has captured the nation’s attention and clicks—on Facebook and reported him. According to the Omaha World-Herald, after learning of Morris’ location, police arrived and saw him get into a PT Cruiser and be driven away. Police followed, pulled the car over and arrested Morris, who allegedly first gave officers a fake name and spit in their face. Morris also allegedly kicked down the partition between the front and back seats of the police car. The Smoking Gun, citing state records, reports that Morris was released in March of this year. He was tried and sentenced as an adult for his involvement in a shooting in 2010, when he was 16. Well in light of his enthusiasm to take on fad challenges, we nominate this one to the common sense challenge! All you have to do is let a single coherent thought go through your mind before you commit to any action…then nominate five more of your dummy criminal friends. SMH.
