A 25-year-old Hilton Head Island man is accused of breaking into an apartment and then calling his mom for a ride home from the crime scene.

An alert neighbor heard someone scurrying around in an upstairs apartment at Cordillo Courts, 104 Cordillo Parkway, and followed the pair all the way to New Orleans Road, where a deputy caught up to them, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff's report.

Isaac Talavera, Jr., 25, of 26 Forest Cove, was charged with second-degree burglary after officers found 13 pairs of socks, two cell phones, two tank tops, cigarettes, car keys, a watch and vehicle titles stolen from the apartment at 3:52 p.m., Thursday, the report stated.

His mother reportedly told deputies her son paid her $10 for a ride because he didn't have a car and that she was unaware he had just committed a crime. Just before the pair was pulled over, Talavera handed her a bag containing syringes and a crack pipe so he wouldn't be in violation of his parole, the report said.

He was, anyway, police said, and is being held for prosecution at the county jail.
