Just like the other dancer Most Likely had to be driving illegally. One of the first things states do when a warrant is out for someone: is to cancel block their tags (No Renewal) and license. It is also done when someone owes the state money: like the 25 Grand Kim Roberts did not pay as she was mandated to.
Tracfone will cancel the service if you report the phone lost or stolen.
Tracfone also does not keep call logs, according to their web page.
This could be one reason why the defense needs the actual phone.
