    A 42-year-old man is facing charges after an altercation with a cab driver in Stephenville. Bay St. George RCMP say around 9:30 p.m. on Friday (January 10th) police received a report of threats uttered against a cab driver from a local cab company. It’s alleged the man kicked and punched a taxi cab, threatened the cab driver and went inside home on Colonial Avenue. RCMP and Police Dog Services attended the scene to arrest the man, but he refused to come out. After some negotiations with police, the man left the home and was arrested without further incident.  He will appear in court at a later date to answer to charges of mischief under $5000.00 (damage to property) and uttering threats. The investigation is continuing.
