Taxi fare jumper dies

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Flagstaff, Arizona, December 3, 2002. After having had a "few too many", 23 year old Stanton Miller decided to take a taxi home. This is normally the correct thing to do... however, it didn't end there. Stanton decided he didn't want to pay the $5 fare and got in an argument with the taxi driver. The driver decided to give Stanton a ride to the Police Department instead. Stanton finally decided he should pay the driver and threw $5 at her, called her a deragatory name, then slapped her. At this point she resumed the efforts to deliver Stanton into the hands of the Police. Stanton decided that his best course of action now was to remove himself from the gene pool. He jumped from the moving taxi receiving a head injury from which he died the next day.

The story could have used a bit of editing, but he did remove himself from the gene pool and that makes it a DA.
