Cops Called on ex-Rep John Sweeney(R)-Stiffs Cabbie ride from Strip Club

[RamboLiberal]

Former Rep. John Sweeney had another brush with the law recently. Sweeney narrowly avoided being charged with theft of services after refusing to pay a cab fare for a ride from a strip club.

A law enforcement source tells NewsChannel 13 that the former congressman summoned a cab for himself and two friends while at a club in Clifton Park early on the morning of Dec. 27. When the cab arrived, Sweeney wasn't ready to go. So he asked the driver to bring two of his friends home and come back and get him.

The source says Sweeney still wasn't ready to leave when the taxi returned. The driver waited 45 minutes and then Sweeney got in the car and the driver brought him to his Clifton Park home.

The source says Sweeney refused to pay the $80-plus cab fare. The cab company called police. State troopers showed up at the Sweeney home, but he didn't answer the door. The source says troopers called Sweeney's attorney and asked that Sweeney come to the barracks to be formally charged.

However, according to the law enforcement source, Sweeney's family brought payment and "something for the driver" to the cab company. The company then notified state police that they wanted to withdraw the complaint.

I hate to say it but I really enjoy reading about this scumbag being taken down yet another notch, especially since it seems to happen on a regular basis.

First, his wife called the cops on him for beating her up. Then, he loses the election, gets divorced and is nabbed for DWI - all in one year.:rofl:

Must've been all that bad karma he stacked up by engineering the Brooks Brothers riot:
