Man Wanted By The Police Swears To Turn Himself In If His Post Gets 1000 Shares On Facebook, Keeps His Word And Surrenders To Authorities.

#1

Michael Zaydel, 21, violated the terms of his probation for assault and DUI. As a result, police in Redford Township posted a request to their Facebook page hoping to find out information on his location so that he could be brought to justice. Zaydel, "Champagne Torino" on Facebook, actually responded to the post by giving them an interesting challenge.

Zaydel said: “I’m not worried about it. If your next post gets 1,000 shares I’ll turn myself in with a dozen doughnuts and that’s a promise. And I’ll pick up every piece of litter around your public schools.”

For the Redford police, this was an offer that was too good to pass up. The police made another FB post asking their followers to help them win the challenge. By the looks of their post, it's safe to say that the donuts were the real reason they were so excited by the challenge. Their post included the line: “Donuts!!!! He promised us donuts! You know how much we love Donuts!”

Even with the odd challenge police were unclear as to if he would actually follow through. Shortly after the post made it's way to the news, it went viral online. The Redford PD got well over 4k shares of their post. Now came the time for Zaydel to hold up his end of the bargain.

On October 6, Zaydel walked into the Redford Police Department carrying a dozen donuts and a bagel. This prompted the police to post: “Zaydel made good on his promise to turn himself in to RTPD for his outstanding warrants. He walked in on his own, and not only did he bring the doughnuts, he brought one bagel! We would again like to express our gratitude for the support of all who followed this, shared it, and left us positive feedback.”

During booking, Zaydel was charged with 2 probation violation misdemeanors. One was for attempted assault and the other was for operating an automobile while intoxicated.

According to local news stations, Zaydel has a long history of interaction with the Redford police. Prior to this occasion, the police department had actually threatened to block him from commenting on their page. The reasons they gave were his constant “veiled threats” and “an inability to engage in constructive dialogue.”

Even though he kept his word, the law didn't go easy on him. Zaydel was sentenced to 39 days behind bars and faces an extra 30 days locked up if he doesn't manage to pay all court fines and costs.
