Cab driver stops to hit golf balls, leaves patron locked in cab

By Keely Levins

A woman in Bremerton, a town near Seattle, Wash., experienced the taxi ride of her nightmares.

It's not uncommon for golfers to want to take a break from the workday to hit a few balls, but one cab driver in Bremerton took that idea to absurd extremes. A woman got into a cab Saturday morning and was driven around for several hours against her will before being dropped off at her destination.

After the woman had called for a cab when her car broke down on Friday, she called the same cab driver the next day to take her to her car. The driver picked her up, and ran a few errands, refusing to drop her off as he kept her locked in the cab. Included in this list of errands: A stop at a golf course to hit a few balls.

Not until several hours later did the driver finally drop the woman at her destination.

The police in Bremerton were contacted and the golfer/cab driver is in custody. That was probably his last range session for a while.

Child-locks, probably. Bet it's to ward off people from skipping out on their fare. I just don't get it. Why pick up the fare if he had things to do? Why not just drop her off first and then do what he needed to?

Could have been worse. The passenger could have been a golfer too. Imagine the agony of being a golfer locked in the car while he hits balls.

I think the cab driver took GolfSmith's motto "anything for the love of golf" to it's utmost extreme!
