Police said the 42-year-old woman hailed a cab from Rogue Taxi at Shari's Cafe & Pies on NE Agness Avenue and was transported to Dollar General where she told the driver she had no money and ran away on Lincoln Road toward the river.
According to the report, the cab fare she skipped out on was $28.
Officers were able to track down the suspect on Lower River Road near Doneen Lane. When she was told she was under arrest, she used active resistance in order to avoid being placed into custody. She was ultimately apprehended.
