\n<\/u>\u27a2 Last month, a Connecticut fugitive struck a deal with police, promising that he would turn himself in if his wanted poster got more than 15,000 likes on Facebook. It took a bit longer than expected, but the man has made good on his pledge. Jose Simms was wanted for seven counts of failure to appear in court, but when police shared his wanted poster on their Facebook page, he actually commented on it, writing that he would turn himself in if the post got 20,000 likes. He and police eventually agreed on 15,000, which was reached in a matter of days, but he still didn\u2019t turn himself in. But on Wednesday, a month after striking the deal, he called the called the Enfield Police Department to come pick him up.<\/p>\n\n
