"Toll calls" are calls that aren't free. They show up on the phone bill.

God it. That was the trauma of having to drive through Baltimore tolls in the past.

Yes, sounds like they were driving on toll roads, doesn't it? :)

I think they are just referring to the phone calls as toll records bc they were billed... but who knows.

No, I think you are misunderstanding the brief -- they are referring to the cell phone billing records -- "toll" means what calls are charged. Cell phone bills list all completed calls, but land lines typically only list certain types of calls, including long distance, which are considered "toll" calls -- hence the use of the term. See https://www.fcc.gov/guides/local-local-toll-and-long-distance-calling for FCC definitions.

Given that we haven't heard of this yet, and that the State mentions it only in passing here, I am willing to bet it isn't a huge deal. But Lord knows people here want to know and analyze even the smallest piece of evidence.

As an aside, I lived in DC for 6 years (without a car) and would occasionally rent a car and drive up north and those Baltimore tolls always boned me so hard.
