Police arrested a woman after she revealed her location on Facebook while seemingly taunting authorities online.

Chloe Jones was arrested in West Virginia and extradited to Pennsylvania after she posted a comment on a post featuring a “most wanted” list with her name on it.

The list, posted by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, said she had failed to make court appearances last month over assault charges.

“Do you do pick up or delivery??” she wrote on the department’s Facebook post, adding several laughing emojis.

Ms Jones began responding to comments from other users, at one point revealing that she was allegedly at the Ruby Memorial Hospital.

That discovery led officers to reportedly arresting Ms Jones before transporting the woman back to Greene County.

The sheriff’s office was then sure to get the last laugh on social media.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office confirmed her arrest in an updated post, writing, “Ms. Chloe Jones and her witty comments are taking a hiatus from our Facebook comments section due to the jail not having internet for her to use.”

“Thank you to the citizens of Greene County, Monongalia County and many others for your tips that lead to her arrest,” the post read.
