A fugitive on the run from the law usually keeps their head down, which is why David Rose was surprised when one of Washington’s most wanted fugitives contacted him on Facebook.

“He posted this long diatribe on my Facebook page — I can’t even say much of what he said,” Rose told KIRO Radio’s Ron and Don Show.

Rose hosts Washington’s Most Wanted, a TV show that features the state’s most wanted criminals. Shaun Tubbs, 28, has 14 felony convictions and is currently hiding from police.

“If you know where Shean Tubbs is, call 911,” Rose said. “He’s running around flop houses in North Bend and Snoqualmie.”

“He’s got a lot of people that like him and say he’s a good guy,” he said. “I think he likes the attention.”

Crime Stoppers is currently offering a a $1,000 reward for help tracking Tubbs down.

Amid a hunt for Tubbs, he wrote to Rose through Facebook about the “new haters” in town who were judging him before they knew the whole situation.

“… well people I have your names and its not hard to find every single one of you smart guys second I’m not that guy I worked a full time job 70 hours a week raising my beautiful 6 year old daughter and just (minding) my own business and you talk about or criminal prosecution.”

The Snoqualmie Police Department received a Crime Stoppers tip that Tubbs was in a mobile home park in North Bend Tuesday. Officers requested backup from the King County SWAT Team but Tubbs got away. Detectives said they had probable cause to arrest him for more than 10 new felony crimes. Investigators say Tubbs recently made comments to friends that he will not go back to jail and if cornered, will “go for a gun.”

Rose notes that one recent allegation is that Tubbs stole a family’s moving truck and cleaned it out.

In the Facebook message, Tubbs criticized the cops with profanity and called them “a bunch of pissed off pigs cause they can’t catch someone.”

The whole message is below, with expletives noted.

Well looks like the new haters are in town now all of you that Dont know me or the situation are judgmental pukes that have nothing better to do than bang on someone that you don’t know to make yourself’s feel better first off second if I was really that person that wmw are trying to make me look like than every single one of you would be at risk cause that person I’m betrayed as is a killer well people I have your names and its not hard to find every single one of you smart guys second I’m not that guy I worked a full time job 70 hours a week raising my beautiful 6 year old daughter and just mundibg my own business and you talk about or criminal prosecution and (expletive) well I thought I’m innocent until proven guilty. But all you stereotyping (expletive) pukes just believe everything you hear on TV or the internet cause I didn’t ram no (expletive) cop or they didn’t find no guns in the vehicle either and their a bunch of pissed off pigs cause they can’t catch someone cause their tacticts (expletive) and on top of that they have harrassed totally innocent people I haven’t even talked to my family cause of the way these “officers of the law” are a bunch of lying bullies that pick on the ignorant innocent people. They have been the ones breaking the laws ripping no trespassing sighs off peoples gates so they can come in or just walking into someone’s home while they were showering lying and slandering my name assaulting random people cause theythinl its me.
