A woman's Facebook comments taunting local police ultimately led to her arrest.

On March 27, the Greene County Sheriff's Office in Pennsylvania posted an updated most wanted list to their Facebook page. Among those listed was Chloe Jones, wanted for simple assault.

That's when Jones decided to make a comment taunting officers. "Do you guys do pick up or delivery??" Jones wrote, followed by four crying-laughing emojis.

After arguing with other commenters on Facebook, Jones revealed she was at a hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. 

In a Facebook post on Monday, Greene County Sheriff's Office said Jones had been captured, taken into custody by police in Morgantown.

"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," wrote the sheriff's office.

Court records did not say whether Jones has a lawyer to comment on her behalf.
