UPSET CAB DRIVER: On Nov. 7 officers were dispatched to check out an altercation between a group of intoxicated people and a taxi driver. Dispatch advised the taxi driver pulled out a knife and left the scene, parking nearby and waiting for law enforcement. Two officers contacted the intoxicated group, who told officers they called a cab, but the taxi driver became upset and began driving recklessly, then told the passengers to leave the cab and brandished the knife before taking off. Other officers contacted the taxi driver, who said he pulled out the knife because the one group member started acting disorderly, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a female taking the cab keys and tossing them. The driver retrieved the keys and called 911. Some members of the group expressed disappointment that officers did not cite the driver for reckless driving, but no charges have been filed.
