Michigan Culprit challenged Police to get a thousand ‘likes’ for him to turn himself in

Michigan man wanted for violating the terms of his probation promised to turn himself in and also bring police some donuts if they could get at least 1,000 shares on a Facebook post.

The unusual challenge went viral and once the police got their shares, the man fulfilled his end of the bargain. 21-year-old Michael Zydel broke the rules of his probation for DUI and assault charges, which prompted the police department in Redford Township to post an appeal to their Facebook followers to assist them in locating him and bringing him to justice.

Zydel, who goes by “Champagne Torino” on Facebook, was actually one of the people who replied to the post, saying that he wasn’t to worried about it and challenging police to get at least 1,000 shares on their next post if they wanted him to turn himself in.

“I’m not worried about it,” Zydel wrote. “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.”

That was apparently too good an offer to pass up, so the Redford PD again asked people to help them complete the challenge. The police made it clear that they didn’t know if the wanted man would actually stay true to his word, but they thought completing the challenge was worth a shot.

After news of it went viral online, the police managed to get over 4,000 shares on their post, and Michael Zydel fulfilled his promise.
