Police call 'ma' on suspect's phone
ATHENS, Ga., Police in Georgia said they used a cellphone left behind at the scene of an elementary school burglary to call the suspect's mother.
Athens-Clarke police said officers responding to an 11:25 p.m. burglar alarm at Howard B. Stroud Elementary School in Athens saw a man drop his cellphone while fleeing the building, the Athens Banner-Herald reported Thursday.
Investigators said they called a number in the phone labeled "ma," and the suspect's mother told them she had kicked her son out of her home because of his stealing habit.
Police said the woman told them the man stays with his grandfather in Colbert, Ga., and failed to show up for a Monday court appearance on a burglary charge.
