A 42-year-old man was arrested by Bay St. George RCMP and is facing charges after an altercation with a cab driver in Stephenville that occurred on January 10, 2025.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Bay St. George RCMP received a report of threats uttered against a cab driver from a local cab company. At a residential property on Colonial Avenue in Stephenville, a man, later identified as the accused, allegedly kicked and punched a taxi cab, threatened the cab driver and went inside the home.
Bay St. George RCMP and RCMP Police Dog Services attended the scene to arrest the involved individual, who initially refused to present himself at the door. After some negotiations with police, the man exited the residence and was arrested for the crimes without further incident. He was released from custody with a future court date where he will face charges of mischief under $5000.00 (damage to property) and uttering threats.
