DNA on dental pick gets man busted for robbery

A Georgia man was arrested this week after his DNA was found to be a match for DNA taken from a dental floss pick dropped at the scene of an alleged 2010 armed robbery.

Jesse Cornelius McGahee, 30, of Oakwood allegedly attacked a man in the driveway of an Ellenwood home and pointed a gun at him, according to a story in the Henry Daily Herald.

When the man knocked the gun out of his hand and they began to scuffle, McGahee fled, allegedly dropping the dental floss pick in the process. Technicians were able to match his DNA with that found on the pick.

McGahee has an extensive criminal history, according to court records.
