The Supreme Court of Georgia has tossed out a felony charge against a man who texted an unwanted photo of his tattooed penis to a Cherokee County woman who then reported him to police.

Ruling 6-0, with Justice Harold Melton not participating, the justices determined that the indictment charging Warren must be dismissed.
