An arrest warrant has been issued for a woman after she caught a taxi from a Dallas hotel to a residence in Texarkana and didn’t pay for the ride.

According to police, 18 year old Lakyirah Bastian had a taxi pick her up from a Dallas hotel and take her to a residence on W. 16th Street in Texarkana.

When they arrived to the address the taxi driver told Bastian that her ride was $344. She then told the driver to hold on while she went inside to get the money from her mother.

After waiting a few moments and no sign of Bastian the taxi driver called police and reported the incident.

Authorities used footage from the hotel surveillance cameras to identify Bastian. Detectives were able to contact Bastian by phone and she agreed to pay for her cab ride.

After several broken promises the taxi driver pressed charges against Bastian and a judge issued a warrant for her arrest.

At this time Bastian still remains at large.
