A South Carolina woman told police yesterday that her former boyfriend stole her “Obama phone” during a confrontation yesterday morning, according to an incident report.
Tasha Mallory, 29, said that she was on her phone when Desmond Ty’Quan Gray, 22, “entered her apartment uninvited” Monday morning and “began to ask her who she was on the phone with.” Mallory and Gray “are not dating but have one child in common,” cops noted.
According to Mallory, Gray tried to grab her phone, but she held it close to her chest “so Mr. Gray could not get to it.” Gray, Mallory alleged, then pushed her to the floor, bit her shoulder, and scratched her arm. He also allegedly wrested her phone away and then fled the residence in a green vehicle.
“Ms. Mallory described the cell phone as an ‘Obama phone,’” according to a Spartanburg Police Department report.
While talking with cops, Mallory pulled out a “second cell phone that she had” and showed text messages from Gray “stating that he did not want the relationship to end.” Police subsequently sought to locate Gray for questioning, but were unsuccessful (they planned to consult with a judge about the incident).
Gray, seen in the above mug shot, has prior arrests for drug possession, shoplifting, domestic violence, attempted burglary, and peeping, according to court records.
The federal government’s Lifeline program, which began in 1985, provides phones to financially disadvantaged individuals. While the program’s mobile phone component launched months before Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, the 44th president has been linked to it largely due to a video shot during the 2012 presidential race.
Good point.
Is it a crime? Or is it just redistribution of wealth?
Never understood that, but have laughed at it repeatedly.
I guess it’s supposed to be some intimidation tactic, like a cat arching its back.
“child in common”... probably going to be an accepted legal term before too long.
Yes, but with a ‘hair hat’.
“free at last” was not meant to be interpreted as “free sh1t at last”.
she did then pull out a second phone she had.
and you know why people have a second cell phone. /breaking bad /they have a secret
