LETHBRIDGE, AB – A 20-year-old man has been charged in connection to an incident where a taxi driver was reportedly robbed at knifepoint.

Just before midnight on Sunday, March 15, police responded to a report that a female driver had been robbed.

The driver picked up a man from the 7-Eleven on Columbia Boulevard West.

After driving him a short distance to his destination, police claim the man held a knife to her throat and demanded cash.

“The driver yelled for help and a citizen in the area provided assistance in getting the subject away from her and chasing him down to recover the money,” reads a media release from Lethbridge Police Service (LPS).

The suspect fled but was arrested when staff at the 7-Eleven called police when he returned about four hours later.

The investigation by LPS determined that the same man was involved in the theft of a purse from a vehicle prior to the robbery.

Taz Good Dagger, 20, of Standoff, is charged with robbery, possession of an offensive weapon dangerous to the public, theft under $5,000, and three counts of possession of identity documents.

Good Dagger was released from custody on conditions and is scheduled to appear in court on June 16.
