On December 17, 2016 at approximately 2:03 a.m. Deputy K. J. Simpson responded to a disturbance at the intersection of Town and Country Drive and Sierra Drive. He encountered a taxi driver who reported delivering a female passenger from Live Casino in Arundel Mills, Maryland to Stafford. The passenger had not paid the $224.75 fare.
The driver reported asking the passenger upon pickup if she had the means to pay for the substantial fare. The passenger said she was going to pay by credit card. Upon arrival however, the passenger stated she had no money and quickly exited the vehicle and ran away. She fled behind a row of nearby townhouses.
As Deputy Simpson and the taxi driver walked along the path where the passenger had run, they observed a female standing outside a residence on Kensington Drive. The taxi driver identified the female as the passenger. When the female observed law enforcement approaching, she attempted to walk away quickly. She was non-compliant with commands but was subsequently taken into custody.
