Police: Georgia Man Jacory Phillips, Steals Car, Begs For Gas Money

ALBANY, Ga. - Note to car thieves: Be sure to take gas money. Police have arrested a man suspected of stealing a car off the showroom floor of an Albany Nissan dealership by driving it through the glass showroom doors. Officers say the big break in the case came a short time later when Jacory Phillips stopped to get gas after the Thursday night burglary but had to beg for money at the gas station.

The gas station called police because of the begging, and Phillips was captured at the gas station in Early County about 50 miles west of Albany.

Phillips has a history of arrests, including being charged with battery and assault after being accused of punching his mother in 2008. He spent 60 days in the Dougherty County Jail in 2009 for violating the terms of his probation.
