A Las Vegas, Nevada woman, with seven arrests for drunk driving, wanted for allegedly cutting off her ankle bracelet, was taken back into custody after commenting on a news article on Facebook.
Marion Reyes, 36, turned herself in to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s traffic bureau on Friday, the day after a post from the agency asking the public for help locating her, claiming she had cut off her ankle bracelet.
“I never cut it off!!! A cop cut it off when I turned myself in. They kept releasing me,” Reyes responded on Facebook under a News 8 news report saying police needed help finding her.
The traffic bureau replied, ‘Then why don’t you turn yourself in now? Let’s settle this tonight.’

Reyes spoke with an intervention officer Thursday night and surrendered Friday, the Bureau said.
Last week, a judge ordered Reyes to two days in prison for missing a court date during a felony DUI program, according to News 8.
As part of a plea deal reached after Reyes was arrested in October for drunk driving, which was her seventh since 2007, her last three drunk driving charges were reduced to one and she was allowed to enter a treatment program. If she is charged with DUI again, Reyes will be sent to prison.
