CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — An Arizona man who posted a Facebook photo of himself wearing a stolen firefighter helmet has been arrested.
Four radios, two axes, a helmet and an LED flashlight were taken from a fire truck parked outside a Casa Grande fire station last Sunday.
Shortly after Pinal County Sheriff’s detectives distributed flyers throughout the neighborhood, the fire department received a tip from one of Daniel Schmidt’s 79 Facebook friends.
The 23-year-old Schmidt apparently also sent the pictures out via text message.
Schmidt admitted to detectives that he was drunk when he stole the equipment and would return the items.
