Taxi driver nabs scofflaw who didn’t pay fare

:

The report of a fight drew Birmingham police on Tuesday, January 21, to a business in the 34500 Block of Woodward Avenue.


Upon arrival police found a 63-year-old Centerline man, who is a taxi driver, holding another man, a 25-year-old Detroit resident, up against a building.


The 25-year-old reportedly exited the taxi driver’s vehicle without paying his $38 fare. The driver chased and caught the passenger and asked someone inside the building to call police.


Officers arrested the passenger for fraud, and discovered a warrant for his arrest out of Detroit. The suspect was transferred to the Wayne County Jail.
