STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
You can persuade people through humor. A sheriff's office in Illinois posted a wanted fugitive notice for Brandon Conti on Facebook the day before Halloween. He's wanted for driving under the influence. Conti replied to the post, commenting, where's my costume?
