Copies of the tweet quickly spread online, but Archambault's account appears to have been deleted since then.

A police spokesman said the department received a phone call from the FBI, alerting them to the tweet and saying they thought the suspect lived in The Colony.

Officers went to check his apartment, but Archambault was not there.
