Bullitt County, Kentucky man who seemingly comments on wanted poster arrested
A man wanted in two Kentucky counties who appeared to comment on his wanted poster on social media earlier this month has been arrested.
A Facebook post from the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office says Jacob Miles was located Friday in north Bullitt County at an address where he “was known to be hiding.” Miles was previously wanted on drug charges in both Bullitt and Meade counties, also deemed a “person of interest in a case” with two outstanding warrants.
A previous post from the sheriff’s office encouraging locals to share information about Miles’ location sparked a comment from the profile name of Jake Miles. He said, “I’m pretty sure I just saw him at the gas station. He kept glancing up at me while I was washing my hands. Very bizarre,” which brought to life the post’s comment section with thousands of reactions.
The account — which has a profile photo of a man who closely resembles Miles — did not comment on the post again, and it cannot be confirmed that the man commenting is Miles.
Miles is currently in custody and is being held on a $10,000 bond. A bench warrant was issued in Meade and Bullitt counties in July after Miles was scheduled for probation court. Court records show that previous efforts had been made to revoke his probation after violations.
Miles, who was originally given a sentence of seven years with five years of probation, previously entered a guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance in the second degree for hallucinogens and trafficking of a controlled substance to the first degree for methamphetamine. Other charges were either amended or dismissed.
