A fugitive in Sydney, Australia, was arrested by authorities after she requested a TV station to change her unflattering photos in its report.
According to Australian news site 7 News Sydney, Amy Sharp was a suspect for escaping a correctional facility after being held for property offenses. The local police posted a bulletin urging the public to report to them if they spotted her. They clipped two photos of Sharp, 18, where she was seen wearing a blanket over her shoulders.
The news site posted a report on Sharp’s disappearance on its Facebook page and, surprisingly, Sharp commented on the thread, asking the TV station to replace the posted photo with a more attractive one.
“Can you use this photo? please and thank you,” Sharp said on Thursday. Her comment garnered 64,516 likes as of Tuesday.
