Suffolk County police arrested a woman for pepper spraying a cab driver who had driven her from Manhattan to Melville, Long Island. According to 1010 WINS, "Amina Williams, 22-year-old woman from Redwood City, Calif. arranged for the cabbie, Alexandre Oseimensuo of New Jersey, to drive her from Manhattan to Melville, Long Island" and "agreed on a fare of $150." However, once in Melville, she only offered $80—but Oseimensuo wanted the full fare. Then Williams allegedly sprayed him with pepper spray. She was charged with assault and unlawful possession of noxious material.
