Yeah what else in news another teen punch's a cab driver and rob's him of $78, this happend in a fairly affluent town of Somerset, NJ.
More then likely he was bored out of his head and needed something to do, so he goes off to a nearby motel where he calls a cab, and as they say the rest is history.
I think we all know whats next, a trip to the courthouse with a high priced mouthpiece and the judge says probation, big surprise, and on a on we go, again.
So where does it stop, I am not the violent type but there should be a pay back of some kind, and I am not talking cash here which would come from Mommy and Daddy.
The story is from NJ's Star Ledger, enjoy.
Somerset teen is accused of punching, stealing $78 from cab driver
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP — A Somerset County teenager allegedly punched a cab driver and swiped $78 from him during an early morning attack Monday, according to court papers.
Timothy Lewis, 18, of Arden Street in Franklin Township, was charged with second-degree robbery, according to court papers. Bail was set at $75,000.
The incident occurred at 2:09 a.m., and the driver did not require medical attention, said Capt. Jack Bennett, a spokesman for the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office.
The victim told police that Lewis reached over the front seat and punched him in the face, causing his nose to bleed, according to the affidavit Franklin police Detective Brian Stillwell filed in Superior Court in Somerville.
Uniform patrol officers arrested Lewis after they identified him through known associates, Stillwell wrote. Lewis allegedly told police that he had someone else call Amigo Taxi for a driver to pick him up at the Quality Inn on Easton Avenue, and the driver took him to Phillips Road, where he ultimately reached over and took the money, the affidavit says.
Authorities found the money at Lewis’ residence, court papers say.
