A Montana man who was arrested after "liking" his mug shot on a Crimestoppers Facebook page has posted bond in a felony forgery case.
Levi Charles Reardon of Great Falls was arrested on April 24, three weeks after an acquaintance pointed out his picture on the Great Falls/Cascade County Crimestoppers Facebook page and Reardon liked it.
Reardon told the Great Falls Tribune on Monday that he was surprised at the level of attention he received after liking the post listing him as one of the area's most wanted.
The 23-year-old said he'd been contacted by national news outlets for interviews.
Reardon pleaded not guilty on May 7. Public defender Alex Spayd said Reardon posted a $2,500 bond the next day. His trial is set for Aug. 31.
