"Do your job properly and come find me," he said.
In response to David's comment, police advised him to do the "right thing and hand [himself] in".
They added: "We have an excellent track record for these sorts of things you see, so we think you'll find that sooner or later we will 'come and find' you."
Today (September 24), the force confirmed David had been arrested and charged with harassment and breaching a restraining order.
He was due to appear at court today.
