A wanted man has been arrested after he applied for a job at a police station.

John Wesley Rose was finally caught after being sought after by cops for a number of charges including, rape, sodomy and sexual abuse, when he applied to be a custody officer at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department in Detroit.

After an officer at the station ran a background check on the man, which brought up his oustanding warrant, he was called in for a second interview before police handcuffed him.

Communications Director Paula Bridges is quoted by the Huffington Post newspaper as saying: “I’m not certain what went through his mind. But for some reason he went into a law enforcement agency, and if the allegations are true, you are a criminal attempting to get a job at a law enforcement agency.”
