Armed robbery suspect poses with guns on Facebook

Daniel Breitsprecher likes to act tough on Facebook. 
He posted a picture of himself holding a gun, a picture of his son and daughter posing with either a black assault rifle or a life-like toy, and a picture of himself looking like he's geared up for a robbery.
About a year after the pictures were posted he was in King County court after being arrested for robbery.
“The defendant allegedly participated in a robbery at gunpoint with another alleged individual who pistol whipped the victim,” said the prosecutor.
He is accused of taking the victim’s car near a Maple Valley home at 7 in the morning because, according to court documents, she was an "easy target."
KIRO 7 tried Breitsprecher at the house he shares with his wife, two children, and parents, but no one came to the door.

MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. — His defense attorney argued Breitsprecher's strong family ties should mean a reduced bail-- despite pictures like these on Facebook.

The judge set bail at $100,000 and he is still in King County jail.
