Well this is disturbing.
Chicago Blackhawk Patrick Kane, 20, was arrested this morning in his home town of Buffalo, New York.
Allegedly, he and a relative, James Kane, 21, took a cab home from “Chippewa Street”. Must be Buffalo’s Rush Street or Lincoln Avenue. The fare was $13.80. They handed the cabbie $15 and then allegedly became enraged when the cabbie didn’t have 20¢ to return as change. So they grabbed their money back and in the process allegedly assaulted the cabbie. Cabbie alleged he was grabbed by the throat, hit about the face and head and had his glasses broken.
Evidence?
A torn fiver in the relative’s pocket.
Both were charged with idiocy, second-degree robbery (Class C felony) and two Class A misdemeanors: fourth-degree criminal mischief and theft of services.
No mention if drugs or alcohol were involved or the condition of the cabbie.
