Police use Dolly Parton challenge to hunt for wanted man

Police use Dolly Parton challenge to hunt for wanted man

Police have jumped onto the Dolly Parton challenge craze and used it to try and find a wanted man.

Scott Mizsei, 32, is wanted for crimes including aggravated burglary.

Cleveland Police came up with a novel way to spread his image around the community, as they showed him posing as if for different social networks.

Their post shows him posing topless for a Tinder profile and taking a selfie for Facebook.

It gained over 500 reactions, 100 comments and nearly 200 shares in an hour.

The meme, which has swept the nation, started when Dolly Parton posted pictures of herself on Twitter saying: ‘Get you a woman who can do it all’.

It has since seen celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Oprah Winfrey and Celine Dion posing for their Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram and Tinder profile pictures and posting on social media.

The public have shown their support for the police’s appeal, posting: ‘Police doing memes now? What a time to be alive.’

Another Facebook user wrote: ‘Whoever is in charge of social media at Cleveland Police needs a promotion.’

Another follower said: ‘Brilliant, best post I’ve seen this year.’

The force posted on their social media today: ‘Have you seen wanted man Scott Mizsei, 32?


‘He is wanted in connection with a number of offences including aggravated burglary.

‘Do not approach him if you see him & call Cleveland Police on 101 with information regarding his whereabouts.

‘Thanks Durham Constabulary for inspiring our post! #DollyPartonChallenge’

A neighbouring police force, Durham Constabulary, also used the viral tactic last Friday to speak to a man wanted in connection with a suspected burglary.

The post, which has been reacted to over 1,800 times and has over 300 comments and 480 shares, said: ‘Have you seen Paul Bishop? “We’d like to speak to him in connection with a suspected burglary which occurred in December.

‘If you have seen him or know where he is, please call Peterlee Police team on 101. #DollyPartonChallenge’
