    Given the "facts" presented, I would take issue with the outcome not being predictable. If I was a gambling man, I would put money on the outcome of the suits and I never bet on anything less than a sure thing.

    Well yeah, I agree with you. I just didn't wanna discourage OP from pouring any of his money down the drain if he is hidebound to do it. Some folks have to learn the hard way.

    He can't win anywhere can he? Poor guy. Maybe he'll pop up somewhere else tomorrow.

    Guess he'll keep bouncing around until someone agrees with him.

    This is interesting:

    I can't imagine that a cab driver is allowed to take you to any location other than what you hired him to take you to and have a legal right to charge you for it just because the meter is running. (I already looked up Chicago ordinance, they are not allowed to charge before reaching the destination).
    You appear to be saying that you told the cabbie "I won't pay you because we're not at the destination", and that is supposed to be sufficient evidence of your willingness to pay even though you were explicitly refusing to pay.

    I also can't imagine that getting out of a cab because you feel your life is in danger could be considered theft, when no other actions accompany that such as fleeing the scene or giving any other indication that you were not going to pay for the services you hired.
    The only thing you've accused the cabbie of doing is kicking you and accusing you of trying to avoid paying your bill. Obviously he wasn't kicking you from the front seat of the cab. So you now appear to be saying that you decided you were going to get out of the cab even though you weren't at your destination, are using a claim that "you fe[lt] your life [wa]s in danger" for getting out of the cab part-way through the trip and then tried to use the claim that "[the cabbie is] not allowed to charge before reaching the destination" to avoid paying your bill - even though you were the one who prevented the cabbie from taking you to your destination by getting out of the cab.

    If that's the case, I can see why the police found your story to be... unpersuasive.

    Now back to the questions I asked earlier: You were arrested for what offense? Did you proceed to court on a criminal charge from that case? If so, exactly how was the charge resolved?
