Fugitive Trapped via Facebook
McCracken County Sheriff’s detectives used the ruse of a fictitious woman on Facebook to lure a man wanted in three western Kentucky counties into a trap where deputies arrested him. Sheriff Jon Hayden says that 10 plainclothes deputies were waiting when 39-year-old Aaron D. Fraser of Paducah stepped of a bus from Michigan Thursday. Fraser is wanted in Ballard, Carlisle and McCracken counties. Hayden said Fraser fled in April to avoid arrest. Hayden said Detectives found him on Facebook and used the fake woman to lure him back to Kentucky. Instead of extradition, Hayden said, returning Fraser to western Kentucky took a $130 one-way bus ticket. Hayden said: “He came to us, so we saved money too.”
