Taxi-Fare Dodger's 'stupid' Repeat Performance: He Fled From Cab That The Cops Had Called 26 August 2008 Lee Thomason was arrested for trying to dodge paying for a taxi – that the police had called for him. And, despite being arrested for that offence, Thomason, of Clare Road, Halifax, did the same thing three days later. The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of making off without payment when he appeared in front of Calderdale magistrates. Robert Stevenson, prosecuting, said: "Thomason attended Bradford South police station to report his wallet stolen and they arranged a taxi for him back to Todmorden. "When they arrived he was told it would be £40 fare, he told the driver he would return with the money shortly but never came back." Thomason was arrested and admitted the charge but three days later ran off after clocking up a £31.50 fare to Todmorden. Richard Brown, for Thomason, said: "I cannot imagine a more stupid offence and there was no way on earth he was going to get away with this. "But it was not pre-planned as nobody in their right mind would give all their details and ask them to phone a taxi for him and then evade the fare." Thomason was given a 10-week curfew order and ordered to pay £71.50 compensation and £60 costs. Source; Halifax Evening Courier |
