THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. – A man here was busted for an armed robbery after bragging about it on Facebook.

Investigators say a masked 37-year-old Adrian Staples walked into a convenience store earlier this month, threatened the clerk with a sword and stole cash and cigarettes.

A dispatcher began searching social media for suspects and came across Staples' page.

About half an hour after the robbery, he posted pictures of himself allegedly holding the money and cigarettes he had just stolen.

Police later found the loot in his apartment and charged him with robbery.
