A 20-year-old Vancouver man faces potential charges of robbery and harassment for allegedly punching and threatening to kill a taxi cab driver.
Keonte Desmont Scott was arrested Sunday on suspicion of harassment and fourth-degree assault. The latter allegation has been changed to first-degree robbery, according to charging information filed Tuesday by Senior Deputy Prosecutor James Smith.
Scott punched a Radio Cab driver several times on the right side of the face, and then threatened to shoot the man to death while reaching into his fanny pack, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The attack and Scott reaching into the pack caused the cab driver to fear for his life, the probable cause affidavit says.
