WELLSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) -- A man who took a cab almost 300 miles from New York City to western New York didn't get very far after he tried to stiff the driver for $916.50 fare.
Police say 23-year-old Jeremy Hartman got out of the cab in the village of Wellsville, where he has relatives, and fled. Police say they found him holed up in a nearby apartment.
Hartman, who is from Illinois, was arrested after the long cab ride Tuesday. He was charged with theft of services.
Wellsville is nearly 100 miles southeast of Buffalo.
