GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- A Montana man made a big social media #fail when he liked his own "Most Wanted" poster on a Crimestoppers Facebook page in April-- ultimately leading to his arrest, according to CBS affiliate KIRO.

Twenty-three-year-old Levi Charles Reardon was arrested without incident on April 24 on felony charges of check forgery after administrators posted a screenshot of miscue on their Facebook page.

He is a suspect in the theft of a wallet and personal checks, according to the Great Falls Tribune. Court records show that Reardon allegedly cashed four of the missing checks and there were two warrants out for his arrest, reports the newspaper.

The documents also say that one of the checks was cashed by Reardon after law enforcement contacted him about the missing wallet and told Reardon that the checks made out to him were reported as fraudulent, according to the paper.

His court date is scheduled for May 7, according to the Tribune.
