Instagram Live Helps Deputies Nab Florida Man Wanted For Grand Theft Auto

DELAND, Fla. (CBSMiami/AP) — Authorities said they were able to arrest a Florida man wanted for grand theft auto after deputies took a peek at his Instagram Live.

A deputy verified they were at the correct house Thursday night by shining a flashlight in the window and seeing the light in the background of the video that Kevin Gaines was streaming live, according to a statement from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Gaines, 20, surrendered after deputies and DeLand police officers surrounded the house, the sheriff's office said.

Gaines was facing charges of possession of a firearm by a delinquent, along with warrants for auto theft, criminal mischief and not possessing a valid driver's license, among other charges.

Online records showed no attorney listed for Gaines. Jail records show he was in custody on Saturday.
