A tattooed model mocked police from the safety of his social media accounts after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Internet star Ethan Bramble, who labels himself as ‘the world’s most modified youth’, has drawn a lot of attention for his appearance in the past, but now he’s entertaining his followers by evading the police.
The 23-year-old is wanted in Australia over assault-related offences, and although he has denied any wrongdoing on social media he’s apparently not willing to go and straighten things out in person.
Victoria Police shared a post on Facebook asking the public to assist in finding the tattooed man, writing:
Police are appealing for assistance to locate Ethan Bramble.
He is described as Caucasian, with a thin build. He has tattoos to 98 percent of his body, including his face, his eyes have been tattooed black and gauges approximately 10cm in diameter in both earlobes.
After coming across the post, Ethan made the brazen move to taunt the officers and responded with a sarcastic comment which earned him thousands of approving reactions.
He wrote:
I’ve never once seen him in my life.
The public response was no doubt slightly embarrassing for the police, who were clearly struggling to find their wanted man, but Ethan still had more up his sleeve.
Earlier this week he posted another Facebook comment in response to the police warrant, in which he stepped the immaturity up a level.
The 23-year-old wrote:
Nananana you’ll never catch me.
Yesterday (May 30) the model took to Instagram to explain why the police were looking for him, saying he’d been accused of assault but there was evidence to suggest the allegations weren’t true.
He shared a picture of him giving the middle finger, and wrote in the caption:
My alleged “assault” I found out from the police is that I lobbed a beer can at my ex partners feet in a bar which there’s camera footage of that I in fact did not.
Earlier today Ethan made it clear he was still enjoying life on the run as he shared a picture in which he posed with a friend.
The caption read:
Coffee with the homie is always better than jail.
The model certainly seems cocky about his success in avoiding the police, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes back to bite him in the future!
