TICONDEROGA, N.Y. - A man who called police to brag that he couldn&#39;t be caught was arrested while he was still on the phone, authorities said. <br> <br> Michael LaRock, 22, was captured in Georgia after a year on the lam on burglary charges. He had been accused of stealing from a motel room. <br> <br> LaRock called Ticonderoga police on Jan. 22 and bragged that he would never be caught, and a caller ID system tracked the call to Auburn, Ga., authorities said. Ticonderoga police contacted police in Auburn. In the meantime, LaRock called Ticonderoga police a second time. <br> <br> &#34;I heard the doorbell ring on his end of the phone,&#34; Ticonderoga Officer Daniel Charlton said. &#34;I could hear someone get up to answer it. It was the police. They came through the door, there was a scuffle, and they subdued him outside the residence after a brief chase.&#34; <br> <br> <br>
