Ronald Jackson, 36, was charged with theft of property of at least $50 but under $500, a Class B misdemeanor.
Jackson said he took his 12-year-old daughter’s cell phone as punishment after finding inappropriate texts in September 2013. A few hours later, officers from the Grand Prairie Police Department showed up at his front door, asking for the iPhone 4 back.
