A Dallas dad, who took away his 12-year-old daughter's cell phone as punishments, had to fight a charge of misdemeanor theft.
Channel 8 in Dallas reports it all stems from an incident in 2013 when Ronald Jackson took his daughter's cell phone from her, because he says she had made some inappropriate texts.
A few hours later, he says, police showed up at his door and asked for the iPhone 4.
