Ronald Jackson wasn’t happy with the text messages his 12-year-old daughter was sending, so, like many parents would do in that situation, he confiscated the phone.
Hours later, at roughly 2 a.m., a knock came at the door — it was the Grand Prairie police. CBS Dallas/Fort Worth reports that Jackson was then arrested on charges of theft.
Jackson explains that in taking his daughter’s phone away, he was just “being a parent.” When he found “rude” messages that his daughter had been sending about a peer, he did what he thought was right.
