They offered him a phone call and he said he had a phone and they even offered him a charger but the charger that was available didn't fit his phone, so he was just trying to find a ride back to Laurel when he came in contact with police.&quot;Twitter reactions on Rasheem Carter's autopsy findingsAfter the news of the autopsy report of Rasheem Carter went viral, Twitterati was furious.
