Cameraphone picture gives suspect up

A very entertaining story on how a picture on a cell phone gave up a suspect to the police. From the Press of Atlantic City.

"A ringing cell phone was the downfall of two men, who insisted they had no knowledge of an AK-47 used in an October shooting. They continued to stand by their story under questioning.

Then their cell phones chimed in. As Detective Kevin Doran tried to silence the rings, he noticed one had interesting wallpaper - a picture of one of the suspects holding an AK-47.

"A picture truly is worth a thousand words," said Capt. Joe Fair, the vice squad's commander.
