'Hometown hero' Kane arrested for robbing cabbie

[Dr. Lecter]

Chicago Blackhawk right winger and South Buffalo native Patrick Kane and a relative face robbery and other charges after allegedly assaulting a cab driver and failing to pay their fare after getting a ride from Chippewa Street early this morning.

Kane, 20, and James M. Kane, 21, were arrested about 5 a.m. on Eastwood Place, according to Buffalo police reports.

The pair allegedly punched the cab driver and grabbed money they had handed him after he told them he didn't have twenty cents in coins to give them their change, the report said.

Their fare was $13.80 and they handed the driver $15, according to a report.
The cab driver told police he was punched in the face and head, grabbed by the throat and had his glasses broken during the incident.

A torn $5 bill was found in James Kane's pocket while in the Erie County Holding Center, the report said.

If this is true, Kane must be a total jerk, or at least a young man who can't handle alcohol.

LOL like he lives like 2 blocks from my house.

[YardRat]

Wouldn't want to be the bar owner(s) that was serving him right about now.

[SABURZFAN]

what a shame. :shakeno:

If this is true, the kid sounds like a tool. Local hero or not...

I don't know....this is kind of hard to believe. Especially since Kane is about 5'9" and 165 pounds soaking wet. Maybe his relative, but I doubt Kane was dumb enough to do that for $1.20 change.

Bingo. Both the bar owner and Kane are at fault (if the story is true).

They proof everybody, but its 18 and up if you're a girl at a lot of places. If you're an underaged celebrity, I'm sure you have a good fake ID.

But really, what a tool.
