No. They already had him and the device, and he gave them the wipe pin when they asked him for the unlock pin. That's destruction of evidence.

Destruction of what evidence? They didn't have the phone unlocked. How do they even know anything was destroyed?

They've got nothing and it's going be dismissed.
