Police arrested Jacory Phillips in Early County after receiving reports of a suspicious person begging for gas money, the Albany (Ga.) Herald reported.

"He literally drove it off the showroom floor," said Albany Police Department spokeswoman Phyllis Banks. "He damaged the doors on the building and then fled the scene." Phillips was arrested a short time later when police were called to a gas station where he reportedly was begging for money to purchase fuel. "The reports are that he was asking people for money to buy some gas and that someone at the store reported the suspicious behavior," Banks said. Phillips has been charged and convicted of several petty crimes since 2007, including an incident in 2008 when he allegedly punched his mother.
