Police in North Port, Fla., say a man was arrested for robbery after uploading pictures of himself on Facebook posing with the loot and a gun linking him to the crime, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.
Jovan Cummings, 24, and his girlfriend, Nicole Catherine Eaton, 22, were arrested for allegedly robbing a Dollar General in March of $3,000 after assaulting one store employee and binding him with duct tape.
The newspaper says a detective looking at surveillance video thought the robbers looked like Cummings and Eaton, who had previously had run-ins with the law.
A check of photos on Cumming's Facebook page showed him holding a wad of cash and also wearing what police said was "the exact same hat" as the store robber.
There was also a video of him brandishing a handgun like the one used in the robbery, the newspaper says, quoting police.
