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.
Slam dunk arrest and conviction. Now he can plead guilty to "theft" and be out by next month.
