After being questioned by officers, the boys handed over the stolen goods, totaling $560.  Each was cited for theft.

While I sympathize with the cab driver, why is a cab from Kent to Stow that much?? I have lived in NYC so I used cabs around Midtown quite often. Doesn't this area have pubic transportation? $43.00? !   more ›
