Sgt. Jay Peters, with the Torrington Police Department, told Fox News two lieutenants posted on the department’s Facebook page Wednesday to detail the conditions of the fugitive's surrender. They said he contacted police through Facebook and agreed to turn himself in if the post with his wanted poster generates 15,000 “likes.”

According to the Facebook post, Simms wanted 20,000 likes, while police proposed 10,000; in the spirit of compromise, they ultimately agreed on the figure precisely between the two..

Police called the post an “interesting one” on the department’s Facebook page, saying the goal “will be difficult but is doable.”

They urged anyone with information on Simms’ whereabouts to contact the police and “save everyone from the suspense.”

They also asked people to “like” the post and share it on Facebook and other social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram.
