When he was stopped his phone was dead. The chargers were in the van. So until and if he got a charger, he didn't have a phone. LE made sure he got a charger before GP left in the van. You can see this on the video before he gets in the car.Maybe he went to AT&T to have his phone fixed. He said he didn’t have a phone really when stopped. Maybe it wasnt working. Why do u think he bought a phone???
