Bad guy mocks cops with Facebook mugshot, jail time ensues

Some guys just deserve to be in jail.
It’s very possible Anthony Lescowitch is one of those people.
Police put Lescowitch's mug on their Facebook page and asked for help finding him.
Deciding to be a wiseguy, Anthony shared the picture on his Facebook page. 
One might call that thumbing their nose at cops. If not, the message he posted with the picture “"lol i f­****n love it A*****E,"  solidified that message.

But police in Freeland, PA saw his page and came up with a plan.

The Scranton Times-Tribune reports an officer posing as a "fictitious attractive woman," made contact with Lescowitch and agreed to meet him.

45 minutes later, he was being fitted for a nice set of jail overalls.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, cops have been after  Lescowitch since late summer on several charges including aggravated assault.

But he has been on the run since charges were officially filed  in November.
