The ECHL's top scorer, South Carolina's Trenton Campbell, was arrested on Friday of last week after stealing a taxi cab. He was near Estero, Florida while the Stingrays were visiting the Florida Everblades.
Campbell was released on $2,500 bond. His arraignment is scheduled for April 16. He has been indefinately suspended by the team.
Apparently, Campbell approached a cab outside a local bar and asked for a ride. The cab driver told Campbell he had to pick up a previously scheduled fare. When the driver left the vehicle to search for the other passenger, two witnesses say that Campbell entered teh unattended car and drove off.
The cab company, Checker Cab, was alerted and used a tracking device in the vehicle to direct police to its location. The car was found abandoned and Campbell walking behind some commercial buildings a short ways away. The driver identified him as the person who took his car.
