The Crime of the Week this week involves a battery to a cab driver which occurred at approximately 7:45 pm
on February 20th. In the incident, a cab driver was parked in a parking lot at 9th and North Grand in Springfield. Suddenly, a black
male who stood approximately 5 foot 10 inches tall and had a slender build and long dreadlocks, approached the cab and broke a side window out of the cab. The subject then struck the cab driver several times in the face before the driver could get out of his parked vehicle.

we’ll pay cash if you can provide information and it leads to an arrest. Remember all tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous, we don’t want to know your name and we’ll make arrangements to get the cash reward to you without knowing who you are.
