Chicago, IL - Leaving your ID in the back of a cab can be an inconvenient mistake, especially if it was a cab you just robbed.Prosecutors allege Antonio Crawford, 29, offered up his ID when he tried to use a credit card reported stolen in an earlier robbery pay for a cab ride from Arlington Heights to the 1200 block of South Ashland around 6:35 p.m. on July 19.
When the card was denied, Crawford pulled out a 9-milimeter handgun and took $100 from the center console of the cab and fled, prosecutors said Sunday in Cook County Central Bond court.
But while making his getaway, Crawford left behind his ID, authorities said.
The cabbie called police and turned over the ID and a debit card left in the back seat, police said. He was arrested Saturday and identified by the cabbie, police said.
